One-shot environment variable assignments, such as 'FOO' in
"FOO=bar cmd", exist only during the invocation of 'cmd'. However, if
'cmd' happens to be a shell function, then 'FOO' is assigned in the
executing shell itself, and that assignment remains until the process
exits (unless explicitly unset). Since this side-effect of
"FOO=bar shell_func" is unlikely to be intentional, detect and report
such usage.
To distinguish shell functions from other commands, perform a pre-scan
of shell scripts named as input, gleaning a list of function names by
recognizing lines of the form (loosely matching whitespace):
shell_func () {
and later report suspect lines of the form (loosely matching quoted
values):
FOO=bar [BAR=foo ...] shell_func
Also take care to stitch together incomplete lines (those ending with
"\") since suspect invocations may be split over multiple lines:
FOO=bar BAR=foo \
shell_func
