GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin21)
In a new bash shell, I tried to declare a function but saw the following error:
syntax error near unexpected token `str'
I'm curious why the closing character ' is not the same as the opening character ` here. If I were crafting this error, the most logical way I could think of would be:
syntax error near unexpected token 'str'
i.e. both an opening and closing ' character. I assume there's a technical or historical reason for this, but I don't know what that could be.
