3 # Tests for expressions in .if conditions.

5 # Note the fine distinction between a variable and an expression.
6 # A variable has a name and a value. To access the value, one writes an
7 # expression of the form ${VAR}. This is a simple
8 # expression. Expressions can get more complicated by adding
9 # variable modifiers such as in ${VAR:Mpattern}.
10 #
11 # XXX: Strictly speaking, variable modifiers should be called expression
12 # modifiers instead since they only modify the expression, not the variable.
13 # Well, except for the assignment modifiers, these do indeed change the value
14 # of the variable.
