I don't actually dare to use terms "recursive variable" and "simple variable"

Either the content o
Hi,
Operators ‘=’ ‘:=’ ‘::=’ seem to have two dimensions these control things
expansion recursiveness (simple vs. recursive expansion)
expansion time (immediate vs. deferred)

example
dir := /foo/bar # directory to put the frobs in

Trailing spaces in front of closing quota or behind?
I see four trailing spaces on right side of c
