http://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1085

This item is tagged for TC3-2008

After applying the changes from 0001083, change page 2347 lines
74749-74754 from:
    When it is not processing an io_here, the shell shall break its
    input into tokens by applying the first applicable rule below
    to each character in turn in its input. The token shall be from
    the current position in the input until a token is delimited
    according to one of the rules below; the characters forming the
    token are exactly those in the input, including any quoting
    characters. If it is indicated that a token is delimited, and
    no characters have been included in a token, processing shall
    continue until an actual token is delimited.

to:
    When it is not processing an io_here, the shell shall break its
    input into tokens by applying the first applicable rule below
    to each character in turn in its input. At the start of input
    or after a previous token has just been delimited, the first
    or next token, respectively, shall start with the first character
    that has not already been included in a token and is not discarded
    according to the rules below. Once a token has started, zero
    or more characters from the input shall be appended to the token
    until the end of the token is delimited according to one of the
    rules below. When both the start and end of a token have been
    delimited, the characters forming the token shall be exactly
    those in the input between the two delimiters, including any
    quoting characters. If a rule below indicates that a token is
    delimited, and no characters have been included in the token,
    that empty token shall be discarded.
