# loop.  This is different from the .for loops, which substitute the variable
# expression with ${:Uvalue}, leading to different unwanted side effects.
#
# To make the behavior more predictable, the :@ modifier should restore the
# loop variable to the value it had before the loop.  This would result in
# the string "1a b c1 2a b c2 3a b c3", making the two loops independent.

# VARE_KEEP_DOLLAR, which means that some dollar signs are preserved, but not
# all.  The dollar signs in the top-level expression and in the indirect
# ${8_DOLLARS} are preserved.
#
# The variable modifier :@var@ does not preserve the dollar signs though, no
# matter in which context it is evaluated.  What happens in detail is:
# First, the modifier part "${8_DOLLARS}" is parsed without expanding it.
# Next, each word of the value is expanded on its own, and at this moment
# in ApplyModifier_Loop, the VARE_KEEP_DOLLAR flag is not passed down to
# ModifyWords, resulting in "$$$$" for the first word of USE_8_DOLLARS.
#
# The remaining words of USE_8_DOLLARS are not affected by any variable
# modifier and are thus expanded with the flag VARE_KEEP_DOLLAR in action.
# The variable SUBST_CONTAINING_LOOP therefore gets assigned the raw value
# "$$$$ $$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$".
#
# The variable expression in the condition then expands this raw stored value
# once, resulting in "$$ $$$$ $$$$".  The effects from VARE_KEEP_DOLLAR no
# longer take place since they had only been active during the evaluation of
# the variable assignment.
