;;; Commentary:
;; These are the possible variable interpolation syntaxes. Also keep
;; in mind that if an argument looks like a number, it will be
;; converted to a number. This is not significant when invoking
;; external commands, but it's important when calling Lisp functions.
;;
;; $VARIABLE
;;
;; Interval the value of an environment variable, or a Lisp variable
;;
;; $ALSO-VAR
;;
;; "-" is a valid part of a variable name.
;;
;; $\"MYVAR\"-TOO
;; $'MYVAR'-TOO
;;
;; Only "MYVAR" is part of the variable name in this case.
;;
;; $#VARIABLE
;;
;; Returns the length of the value of VARIABLE. This could also be
;; done using the `length' Lisp function.
;;
;; $(lisp)
;;
;; Returns result of Lisp evaluation. Note: Used alone like this, it
;; is identical to just saying (lisp); but with the variable expansion
;; form, the result may be interpolated a larger string, such as
;; '$(lisp)/other'.
;;
;; ${command}
;;
;; Returns the value of an eshell subcommand. See the note above
;; regarding Lisp evaluations.
;;
;; $<command>
;;
;; Evaluates an eshell subcommand, redirecting the output to a
;; temporary file, and returning the file name.
;;
;; $ANYVAR[10]
;;
;; Return the 10th element of ANYVAR. If ANYVAR's value is a string,
;; it will be split in order to make it a list. The splitting will
;; occur at whitespace.
;;
;; $ANYVAR[: 10]
;;
;; As above, except that splitting occurs at the colon now.
;;
;; $ANYVAR[: 10 20]
;;
;; As above, but instead of returning just a string, it now returns a
;; list of two strings. If the result is being interpolated into a
;; larger string, this list will be flattened into one big string,
;; with each element separated by a space.
;;
;; $ANYVAR["\\\\" 10]
;;
;; Separate on backslash characters. Actually, the first argument --
;; if it doesn't have the form of a number, or a plain variable name
;; -- can be any regular expression. So to split on numbers, use
;; '$ANYVAR["[0-9]+" 10 20]'.
;;
;; $ANYVAR[hello]
;;
;; Calls `assoc' on ANYVAR with 'hello', expecting it to be an alist.
;;
;; $#ANYVAR[hello]
;;
;; Returns the length of the cdr of the element of ANYVAR who car is
;; equal to "hello".
;;
;; There are also a few special variables defined by Eshell. '$$' is
;; the value of the last command (t or nil, in the case of an external
;; command). This makes it possible to chain results:
;;
;; /tmp $ echo /var/spool/mail/johnw
;; /var/spool/mail/johnw
;; /tmp $ dirname $$
;; /var/spool/mail/
;; /tmp $ cd $$
;; /var/spool/mail $
;;
;; '$_' refers to the last argument of the last command. And $?
;; contains the exit code of the last command (0 or 1 for Lisp
;; functions, based on successful completion).

"This list provides aliasing for variable references.
Each member defines the name of a variable, and a Lisp value used to
compute the string value that will be returned when the variable is
accessed via the syntax `$NAME'.
If the value is a function, call that function with two arguments: the
list of the indices that was used in the reference, and whether the
user is requesting the length of the ultimate element. For example, a
reference of `$NAME[10][20]' would result in the function for alias
`NAME' being called (assuming it were aliased to a function), and the
arguments passed to this function would be the list '(10 20)', and
nil.
If the value is a string, return the value for the variable with that
name in the current environment. If no variable with that name exists
in the environment, but if a symbol with that same name exists and has
a value bound to it, return its value instead. You can prioritize
symbol values over environment values by setting
`eshell-prefer-lisp-variables' to t.
If the value is a symbol, return the value bound to it.
If the value has any other type, signal an error.
Additionally, each member may specify if it should be copied to the
environment of created subprocesses."
