Well, I have now a patch ready for submission that would replace all
occurences of ${PARAMETER#WORD}, ${PARAMETER%WORD}, and $((
EXPRESSION )).  But if you say that you won't accept replacement of
$( ... ) then this is not worth the effort since this one isn't
accepted as well.

I absolutely can't understand your claim that most things work for
you, then.  Are you _really_, _really_ sure you are talking about
/bin/sh here?

I started wondering myself and it turned out that we just didn't look in the
right place.  Actually we _have_ an infrastructure in place to replace the
shell.  (SHELL_PATH in the Makefile)  In that case I would not consider this
an issue and you might go on with the cleanup from my point of view.
