+# This testcase demonstrates that backslashes are treated differently
+# in 1st and 2nd parts of ${var/search/repl}:
+# if quoted ("${var/search/repl}"), and repl contains \a (a non-special char),
+# the backslash in repl stays; if unquoted, backslash is removed.
+# But search part does not act like that: \a is always converted to just a,
+# even in quotes.
+#
+# bash4 (and probably bash3 too): "Quoted:" results are different from
+# unquoted and assignment expansions - they have a backslash before z.
