to complement SADELIM_BASH, as before – ${foo/bar/baz} –
but ifdef'd out for now, so probably no coding style. also new
is a flags array (not declared yet)
• use DOWARN semantically correct
• support the Microsoft® C Compiler
• on Interix, disable msc's security checks, as it relies on
library functions not provided by Interix' libc (XXX mirtoconf this)
namely Dr. Robert “Pfeffer” Arnold (in this case, in FreeWRT), make
a half-completed attempt at implementing ${foo:2:3} substring evals
(of course, negatives can't work right now and that the numbers are
in face expressions is something I only read later too – this is to
be revisited later, but it's already late)
don't depend on this behaviour yet though
if someone wants to add more regression tests, feel free to…

still work to do for HP C on IA64
is a compromise anyway; these lunox people will have to live with that, too
many existing korn shell alike scripts depend on it even if not on the full
korn shell syntax availability (note: this doesn't mean using these in some
script with #!/bin/sh is ok)
