Observe that rule 4 is applied for the first word in a pattern even if that

WORD token that makes for a valid pattern.
Yes, rule 4 is applied there, but your mistake is in assuming that
the *result* of rule 4 is that the token is converted to an Esac.
How is it not? "the [sic] TOKEN is exactly the reserved word esac" at this
point. Why would it not return the token for `esac'? Or are you saying that
is not converted to an Esac?
