otherwise some shells, such as on Digital Unix V 5.0, will die because
of a @emph{bad substitution}.
When setting several variables in a row, be aware that the order of the
evaluation is undefined. For instance @samp{foo=1 foo=2; echo $foo}
gives @samp{1} with sh on Solaris, but @samp{2} with bash. You must use
@samp{;} to enforce the order: @samp{foo=1; foo=2; echo $foo}.
Contrary to a persistent urban legend, the Bourne shell does not
systematically split variables and backquoted expressions, in
particular, the following code:
