What I mean isn't "if and !" but rather "if !" as in
if ! echo $FONTFILES
and
if ! wget
But I just tested with posh so maybe this was okay; I guess it is a
case of "support is required by posix, but [buggy] shells don't get it
right". info autoconf/Limitations of Builtins/Limitations of usual
Commands/ confirms this. Feel free to disregard this one, since
afaics it doesn't affect Debian, and can't be fixed without
uglification of code.
Hmmm why does vim highlight $() then?
I reported this as #319825, but was corrected by one of the vim
maintainers. Is this another case of attempting to support old or
broken shells?
This kind of stuff also is highlighted by vim:
${opt#-s}
${RET:+-s$RET}
${RET:+-u$RET}
Also, the postrm can be remove completely, since it is empty.
