Re: [NO-BUG] quoted substring parameter expansion ignores single-quotes in the arg

["G.raud" <graud@xxxxxxx>]

Wrong bug report.

In fact the beahviour of dash on "a=\\'a\\'; echo \"\${a%'}\"" is that
of POSIX and of zsh 5.  However 'bash --posix', 'mksh -o posix' and
pdksh fail to parse the command and ksh does not remove the quote from
$a.
