Machine Type: i486-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.0
Patch Level: 28
Release Status: release
Description:
A bash function with a dot in its name can be created and used with no
problems but cannot be removed - the "unset" command chokes on the name.
Repeat-By:
This sequence yields the expected results:
function f() { echo $FUNCNAME ; }
f
unset f
...while this sequence fails during the unset phase with the complaint
that the name is not a valid identifier:
function f.dot() { echo $FUNCNAME ; }
f.dot
unset f.dot
