Bug 1560: clarify wording of command substitution

Bug 792: better definition of thread lifetime Accepted as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=792
This item is tagged for Issue 8.
Geoff completed his action to supply updated wording. See bugnote 5923.
Bug 770: Add support for .ONESHELL in make Rejected
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=770
Several issues have been raised in the comments to this bug. They were
discussed during the 2022-08-04 conference call. We agree that the
ability to treat a group of lines as a single group without the need of
backslash terminating initial lines would make it easier to read and
write makefiles. It is not clear that there is any consensus to add
this feature in a consistent manner across common implementations, and
there is significant difference in the manner in which existing makes
implement something like this.
If the submitter would like to update this proposal to provide a syntax
and complete description that will be (or has been) implemented by GNU,
*BSDs, and Illumos, we would be happy to see that proposal in a new bug
report. Otherwise, we do not believe that this proposal is ready for
standardization and we are rejecting this bug for now.
Bug 768: add "fd-private" POSIX locks to spec OPEN
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=768
A separate etherpad page was created to work on wording for this bug
at https://posix.rhansen.org/p/bug768
Action on Eric B. to adapt the GNU documentation for OFD locks into
an initial set of changes for us to work on.
We will pick up on this item once Eric has completed his action.
