#
# NOTE: The escape is used directly as an extended regular

# delimited by shell single-quotes, so be wary

#
# At least GNU make gets confused by expanding a newline
# within the context of a command line of a makefile rule
# (this is in constrast to a `$(shell ...)' function call,
# which can handle it just fine).
#
# This function avoids the problem by producing a string
# that works as a shell word, regardless of whether or
# not it contains a newline.
#
# If the text to be wordified contains a newline, then
# an intrictate shell command substitution is constructed
# to render the text as a single line; when the shell
# processes the resulting escaped text, it transforms
# it into the original unescaped text.
#
# If the text does not contain a newline, then this function
# produces the same results as the `$(shell-sq)' function.
