actually there are two details:
1) I thought that
file=/one/two/three
file=`AS_BASENAME(["$file"])` # sets file to three
is slightly better because it shows that the user should add shell quotes,
no shell quoting is added by AS_BASENAME.
Likewise for AS_DIRNAME.
Bit if you don't like the ``long'' example, we can let this be.
2) The reference
@xref{Limitations of Usual Tools}, for why this is
more portable than @command{file=`dirname /one/two/three`}.
doesn't point to any portablity details, just that
``Not all hosts have a working dirname.''
Would you mind if I deleted this cross reference?
Have a ncie day,
Stepan
