bug in eshell

I see eshell is a part of GNU Emacs now.  Does that mean that this is
the place to send bug reports about it?

I'm trying to write a nested loop in eshell.

I'm typing the following at the eshell prompt:

  for i in 1 a { for j in 2 b { echo "$i.$j" }}

but I'm getting the following 4 lines back:

  1.2
  1
  a.2
  a.b

I would expect the 2nd line to be '1.b', not '1'.

This is apparently something to do with 1 being a number, not a
letter.  Replace the '1' with 'i' and it's OK.  The inner loop
doesn't seem to mind that one of the things it's looping over is also
a number.

Chris.
