Ah thanks! Sadly paragraph
https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Command-Substitution
doesn't mention this behaviour. Would it be possible to add a line
describing this?
I know that it's in the manual somewhere else, but maybe you could
prevent some
unnecessary questions on this mai

sl-get is executed in a subshell, and any effect on the state of the
shell is forgotten after expansion.
