The use of WRDE_NOCMD prevents command substitution. If the flag WRDE_NOCMD is set then no command substitution shall occur and the error WRDE_CMDSUB will be returned if such substitution is requested when processing the words. The manual page as-is makes it seem like the command substitution occurs, and an error is returned *after* the substitution. This patch clarifies that. Patch against trunk.
