just out of curiosity, what result will be:
```
echo 'T="abcde"; echo "${T#?}"' | bash
echo 'T="abcde"; echo "${T%${T#?}}"' | bash
```
> only-mvnw fails on AIX' ksh implementation
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MWRAPPER-123
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWRAPPER-123
> Project: Maven Wrapper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1
> Reporter: Benjamin Marwell
> Priority: Urgent
>
> the script {{only-mvnw}} contains this snippet in a line to calculate a hash:
> {code:bash}
> printf %d "'$str"
> {code}
> The idea is to convert {{$str}} to a number, where {{'}} has a special
> meaning for {{%d}} conversion. However, there are two problems with it:
> 1. It does not work on ksh on AIX (because this conversion is not posix
> compliant), so the script will not run on AIX.
> 2. It will only use the first letter, which is alway {{h}} (from the string
> always being a valid URI).
> For now, replace it with the ASCII constant 104 (ASCII value of h). The
> intended behaviour can be restored in another PR if feasible.
