     * <h3>*NIX notes</h3>
     *
     * Explicitly supported shell constructs:
     *   \ '' "" $'' $"" {} () $(()) ${} $() ``
     *
     * Implicitly supported shell constructs:
     *   (())
     *
     * Unsupported shell constructs that will cause problems:
     *  Shortened &quot;<tt>case $v in pat)</tt>&quot; syntax. Use
     *   &quot;<tt>case $v in (pat)</tt>&quot; instead.
     *
     * The rest of the shell (incl. bash) syntax is simply ignored,
     * as it is not expected to cause problems.
     *
     * Note that bash contains a bug which makes macro expansion within
     * double quoted substitutions (<tt>"${VAR:-%macro}"</tt>) inherently
     * insecure.
     *
     * For security reasons, @em never put expandos in command line arguments
     * that are shell commands by themselves -
     * &quot;<tt>sh -c 'foo \%f'</tt>&quot; is taboo.
     * &quot;<tt>file=\%f sh -c 'foo "$file"'</tt>&quot; is OK.
     *
     * <h3>Windows notes</h3>
     *
     * All quoting syntax supported by KShell is supported here as well.
     * Additionally, command grouping via parentheses is recognized - note
     * however, that the parser is much stricter about unquoted parentheses
     * than cmd itself.
     * The rest of the cmd syntax is simply ignored, as it is not expected
     * to cause problems - do not use commands that embed other commands,
     * though - &quot;<tt>for /f ...</tt>&quot; is taboo.
     *
     * @param str the string in which macros are expanded in-place
     * @param pos the position inside the string at which parsing/substitution
     *  should start, and upon exit where processing stopped
     * @return false if the string could not be parsed and therefore no safe
     *  substitution was possible. Note that macros will have been processed
     *  up to the point where the error occurred. An unmatched closing paren
     *  or brace outside any shell construct is @em not an error (unlike in
