Does it? As far as I can see, dash does not support the $' ' syntax. With the $' ' syntax,
newline=$'\n'assigns to newline a string of length 1 containing a newline character. In dash, what happens instead is that newline is assigned a string of length 3 containing the characters $, \, and n.
Tested with current master, commit 057cd650. Cheers, Harald van Dijk
