In bash 2.05b, file parse.y, line 2179ish:
else if MBTEST(was_dollar && (ch == '(' || ch == '{' || ch ==
'[')) /* ) } ] */
/* check for $(), $[], or ${} inside quoted string. */
Maybe something like:
else if MBTEST(open=='"' && was_dollar && (ch == '(' || ch == '{'
|| ch == '[')) /* ) } ] */
/* check for $(), $[], or ${} inside " quoted string. */
Might do the trick?
I haven't tried it. Would need testing from someone who understands
POSIX quoting in detail, to ensure it doesn't break other convoluted
quoting rules...
