    00064      * Implicitly supported shell constructs:
    00065      *   (())
    00066      *
    00067      * Unsupported shell constructs that will cause problems:
    00068      *  @li Shortened "case $v in pat)" syntax. Use "case $v in (pat)" instead.
    00069      *
    00070      * The rest of the shell (incl. bash) syntax is simply ignored,
    00071      * as it is not expected to cause problems.
    00072      *
    00073      * Note that bash contains a bug which makes macro expansion within
    00074      * double quoted substitutions ("${VAR:-%macro}") inherently insecure.
    00075      *
    00076      * @param str the string in which macros are expanded in-place
    00077      * @param pos the position inside the string at which parsing/substitution
    00078      *  should start, and upon exit where processing stopped
    00079      * @return false if the string could not be parsed and therefore no safe
    00080      *  substitution was possible. Note that macros will have been processed
    00081      *  up to the point where the error occured. An unmatched closing paren
    00082      *  or brace outside any shell construct is @em not an error (unlike in
    00083      *  the function below), but still prematurely terminates processing.
