+# We follow original ash behaviour for quoted ${var+-=?} expansions:
+# a double-quote in one switches back to unquoted state.
+# This allows expanding a variable as a single word if it is set
+# and substituting multiple words otherwise.
+# It is also close to the Bourne and Korn shells.
+# POSIX leaves this undefined, and various other shells treat
+# such double-quotes as introducing a second level of quoting
+# which does not do much except quoting close braces.
