It's a corner case, but if we run into it we can easily solve it like
this:
#!/bin/sh
. gettext.sh
HOME=/home/junio
path='$HOME/.gitconfig'
var=core.i18n
(
export HOME var ;# no need for HOME, but just an illustration
# TRANSLATORS: $path will be "$HOME/.gitconfig"
eval_gettext 'Look at $path and find definition of $var variable.'; echo
)
Which results in:
$ sh /tmp/foo.sh
Look at $HOME/.gitconfig and find definition of core.i18n variable.
