# Tests for undefined variable expressions in the command line.

all:
	# When the command line is parsed, variable assignments using the
	# '=' assignment operator do get their variable name expanded
	# (which probably occurs rarely in practice, if at all), but their
	# variable value is not expanded, as usual.

	# The interesting case is using the ':=' assignment operator, which
	# expands its right-hand side.  But only those variables that are
	# defined.
