--- Comment #12 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> ---
For PS4, I implemented this in 2011. The problem with unbounded recursion f=
rom
command substitutions is avoided by not allowing command substitutions; this
error (like other parse and expansion errors in PS4) is handled by writing =
an
error message and continuing with the unexpanded value.

For PS1 and PS2, there are two additional problems:
* how does $... expansion interact with the existing \u, \w, \$, etc.
* because PS2 is needed during the middle of a parse, more work may be need=
ed
to prevent the two parse operations from interfering with each other
