#
# As of 2020-08-01, the :M and :N modifiers interpret backslashes differently,
# depending on whether there was a variable expression somewhere before the
# first backslash or not. See ApplyModifier_Match, "copy = TRUE".
#
# Apart from the different and possibly confusing debug output, there is no
# difference in behavior. When parsing the modifier text, only \{, \} and \:
# are unescaped, and in the pattern matching these have the same meaning as
# their plain variants '{', '}' and ':'. In the pattern matching from
# Str_Match, only \*, \? or \[ would make a noticeable difference.

# And now both cases combined: A single modifier with both an escaped ':'
# as well as a variable expression that expands to a ':'.
#
# XXX: As of 2020-11-01, when an escaped ':' occurs before the variable
# expression, the whole modifier text is subject to unescaping '\:' to ':',
# before the variable expression is expanded. This means that the '\:' in
# the variable expression is expanded as well, turning ${:U\:} into a simple
# ${:U:}, which silently expands to an empty string, instead of generating
# an error message.
#
# XXX: As of 2020-11-01, the modifier on the right-hand side of the
# comparison is parsed differently though. First, the variable expression
# is parsed, resulting in ':' and needSubst=TRUE. After that, the escaped
# ':' is seen, and this time, copy=TRUE is not executed but stays copy=FALSE.
# Therefore the escaped ':' is kept as-is, and the final pattern becomes
# ':\:'.
#
# If ApplyModifier_Match had used the same parsing algorithm as Var_Subst,
# both patterns would end up as '::'.

# XXX: As of 2020-11-01, unlike all other variable modifiers, '\$' is not

# the ':' at the end of the modifier, which results in the pattern '\$'.
# No unescaping takes place since the pattern neither contained '\:' nor
# '\{' nor '\}'. But the text is expanded, and a lonely '$' at the end
# is silently discarded. The resulting expanded pattern is thus '\', that
# is a single backslash.
