 * Handling of variables and the expressions formed from them.
 *
 * Variables are set using lines of the form VAR=value.  Both the variable
 * name and the value can contain references to other variables, by using
 * expressions like ${VAR}, ${VAR:Modifiers}, ${${VARNAME}} or ${VAR:${MODS}}.
 *
 * Interface:
 *	Var_Init	Initialize this module.
 *
 *	Var_End		Clean up the module.
 *
 *	Var_Set		Set the value of the variable, creating it if
 *			necessary.
 *
 *	Var_Append	Append more characters to the variable, creating it if
 *			necessary. A space is placed between the old value and
 *			the new one.
 *
 *	Var_Exists	See if a variable exists.
 *
 *	Var_Value	Return the unexpanded value of a variable, or NULL if
 *			the variable is undefined.
 *
 *	Var_Subst	Substitute all variable expressions in a string.
 *
 *	Var_Parse	Parse a variable expression such as ${VAR:Mpattern}.
 *
 *	Var_Delete	Delete a variable.
 *
 *	Var_ExportVars	Export some or even all variables to the environment
 *			of this process and its child processes.
 *
 *	Var_Export	Export the variable to the environment of this process
 *			and its child processes.
 *
 *	Var_UnExport	Don't export the variable anymore.
 *
 * Debugging:
 *	Var_Stats	Print out hashing statistics if in -dh mode.
 *
 *	Var_Dump	Print out all variables defined in the given context.
 *
 * XXX: There's a lot of duplication in these functions.

/* The ApplyModifier functions all work in the same way.  They get the
 * current parsing position (pp) and parse the modifier from there.  The
 * modifier typically lasts until the next ':', or a closing '}' or ')'
 * (taken from st->endc), or the end of the string (parse error).
 *
 * The high-level behavior of these functions is:
 *
 * 1. parse the modifier
 * 2. evaluate the modifier
 * 3. housekeeping
 *
 * Parsing the modifier
 *
 * If parsing succeeds, the parsing position *pp is updated to point to the
 * first character following the modifier, which typically is either ':' or
 * st->endc.
 *
 * If parsing fails because of a missing delimiter (as in the :S, :C or :@
 * modifiers), return AMR_CLEANUP.
 *
 * If parsing fails because the modifier is unknown, return AMR_UNKNOWN to
 * try the SysV modifier ${VAR:from=to} as fallback.  This should only be
 * done as long as there have been no side effects from evaluating nested
 * variables, to avoid evaluating them more than once.  In this case, the
 * parsing position must not be updated.  (XXX: Why not? The original parsing
 * position is well-known in ApplyModifiers.)
 *
 * If parsing fails and the SysV modifier ${VAR:from=to} should not be used
 * as a fallback, either issue an error message using Error or Parse_Error
 * and then return AMR_CLEANUP, or return AMR_BAD for the default error
 * message.  Both of these return values will stop processing the variable
 * expression.  (XXX: As of 2020-08-23, evaluation of the whole string
 * continues nevertheless after skipping a few bytes, which essentially is
 * undefined behavior.  Not in the sense of C, but still it's impossible to
 * predict what happens in the parser.)
 *
 * Evaluating the modifier
 *
 * After parsing, the modifier is evaluated.  The side effects from evaluating
 * nested variable expressions in the modifier text often already happen
 * during parsing though.
 *
 * Evaluating the modifier usually takes the current value of the variable
 * expression from st->val, or the variable name from st->v->name and stores
 * the result in st->newVal.
 *
 * If evaluating fails (as of 2020-08-23), an error message is printed using
 * Error.  This function has no side-effects, it really just prints the error
 * message.  Processing the expression continues as if everything were ok.
 * XXX: This should be fixed by adding proper error handling to Var_Subst,
 * Var_Parse, ApplyModifiers and ModifyWords.
 *
 * Housekeeping
 *
 * Some modifiers such as :D and :U turn undefined expressions into defined
 * expressions (see VEF_UNDEF, VEF_DEF).
 *
 * Some modifiers need to free some memory.
