That is the recursive parser we use, recursive parsers are no good. At least not if used like here. (The shell maybe needs to parse $( .. ) construct recursive, but these are mail messages, sigh.)

Unfortunately small and rapidly moving projects become penalized in those long term stability things. In those over two years in between v14.9.9 and v14.9.19 hundreds and more bugs have been fixed, but they will not upgrade it. You had to backport all bug fixes, and that is sometimes even impossible, but anyway, i do not have ressources for such an effort.
