 # Tests for the := variable assignment operator, which expands its
 # right-hand side.
 
 # TODO: Implementation
 
+# XXX: edge case: When a variable name refers to an undefined variable, the
+# behavior differs between the '=' and the ':=' assignment operators.
+# This bug exists since at least 1993-03-21.
+#
+# The '=' operator expands the undefined variable to an empty string, thus
+# assigning to VAR_ASSIGN_.  In the name of variables to be set, it should
+# really be forbidden to refer to undefined variables.
+#
+# The ':=' operator expands the variable name twice.  In one of these
+# expansions, the undefined variable expression is preserved (controlled by
+# preserveUndefined in VarAssign_EvalSubst), in the other expansion it expands
+# to an empty string.  This way, 2 variables are created using a single
+# variable assignment.  It's magic. :-/
