I was reading through the original bourne shell signal handling implementation and noticed an expression inside a comment was quoted this way:/* `stakbot' is preserved by this routine */   ^^^^^^^^also the zsh user guide The command `bye' is identical to `exit'and IIRC the zsh man pages use this same notation.Why?  Is it to prevent the code from being accidentally being interpreted as a backtick expression and executed ?or is it simply a convention?
What is the reason to quote executable code with `.........'?
shell;c
That's just using the backtick as an opening quote; it's the equivalent ofstakbot is preserved by this routineandThe command bye is identical to exitusing only ASCII characters.
