Intentional inconsistency? about js-shell-parse

[piranna]

I also get command when assigning the variable to nothing:

DOMAIN=

This isn't exactly intentional, the issue is that comments aren't parsed at all right now.

@dthree this is one of the areas where peg parsing is somewhat awkward. Parsing comments cleanly would require sticking the comment rule in the grammar everywhere a comment might appear (which is a lot of places). You could instead preprocess the input to remove all input after a # on each line, but then your preprocessor has to be aware of quotes & heredocs.

Not a lot of places, just before newlines... ;-)
