- It appears that I did miss something -- any behavior that P1003.2a
- doesn't specify as being different for interactive operation is the
- same as for non-interactive operation. So interactive comments need
- to work the same way as non-interactive comments. In other words,
- "that shell" (bash) doesn't comply with 1003.2a in its handling of
- interactive comments.
-
- Sorry for my hasty analysis.
