It is also frequently used as a verb related to pathname resolution, and this use ought to be added (as a separate definition, with a "domain" for each definition, as per ISO rules).
Desired Action: On page 63 line 1928 section 3.216, change:<blockquote><b>3.216 Name</b><blockquote>In the shell command language, a word consisting solely of underscores, digits, and alphabetics from the portable character set. The first character of a name is not a digit. <small><b>Note:</b> The Portable Character Set is defined in detail in [xref to 6.1].</small></blockquote></blockquote>to:<blockquote><b>3.216 Name</b><blockquote><shell command language, used as a noun> A word consisting solely of underscores, digits, and alphabetics from the portable character set.
