I don't know how you'll get that strategy to work (having $1 in
$replace). /e doesn't seem to help and I'm not sure why.
Anyway, if you're having trouble with for() { for () { eval "" } } then
move the eval outside, i.e. generate a string that contains the nested
for()s and run that code as a single eval.
