There was only one time in my life as a developer when I had to change a
$(...) to a `...` construct. I do not really remember all the details, but
I think it was on MacOSX, and it was inside a case ... esac and the
closing parentheses was mistaken for a case arm (the $(...) construct
might have been multi-line, is the only thing that would make sense in my
mind.

Did you hear of similar problems?

Ciao,
