# This testcase demonstrates that backslashes are treated differently
# in 1st and 2nd parts of ${var/search/repl}:
# if quoted ("${var/search/repl}"), and repl contains \a (a non-special char),
# the backslash in repl stays; if unquoted, backslash is removed.
# But search part does not act like that: \a is always converted to just a,
# even in quotes.
#
# bash4 (and probably bash3 too): "Quoted:" results are different from
# unquoted expansions - they have a backslash before z.
#
# The difference only exists if repl is a literal. If it is a variable:
# ${v/.../$s}, then all backslashes are preserved in both cases.
