Since '$var[hello 0]' doesn't make sense when 'var' is a string, the
previous restriction was unnecessary.

(esh-var-test/interp-var-string-split-indices)
(esh-var-test/quoted-interp-var-string-split-indices): Update tests.
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Dollars expansion): Update documentation.
Previously, more-complex index expansions, like '$var[":" 0]' or
'$var[$(expr) 0]' failed to parse correctly.
* lisp/eshell/esh-var.el (Commentary): Clarify indexing and length
expansions.
(eshell-parse-indices): Expand docstring and support parsing inside
double-quotes.
(eshell-eval-indices): New function.
(eshell-parse-variable): Use it.

* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Dollars Expansion): Expand and reword
documentation for indexing and length expansions.
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Built-in commands): Expand on the
documentation of echo (bug#27361).
* lisp/eshell/em-basic.el (eshell-echo): Respect OUTPUT-NEWLINE even
when 'eshell-plain-echo-behavior' is non-nil.
(eshell/echo): Add "-N" option and recommend its use over "-n" in
Lisp-friendly echo.
(eshell/printnl): Simplify; 'eshell-stringify' is equivalent to
calling 'eshell-echo' here.
* lisp/eshell/esh-opt.el (eshell--split-switch): New function.
(eshell-set-option): Allow setting a supplied value instead of always
consuming from 'eshell--args'.
(eshell--process-option): Support consuming option values specified as
a single token.
(eshell--process-args): For short options, pass full switch token to
'eshell--process-option'.
* test/lisp/eshell/esh-opt-tests.el (esh-opt-process-args-test): Fix
test.
(test-eshell-eval-using-options): Add tests for various types of
options.
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Defining new built-in commands): New
subsection, describe how to use 'eshell-eval-using-options'.
* etc/NEWS: Announce the change.
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Built-in commands): Add the remaining
built-in Eshell commands to the list of built-ins. Expand some of
the descriptions and mention user options affecting command
behavior. Sort these commands in alphabetical order (bug#52289).
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Writing a module, Module testing)
(Directory handling, Key rebinding, Smart scrolling)
(Terminal emulation): Explicitly say that these sections remain to
be written. (Bug#49306)
(eshell-cmpl-initialize): Refrain from binding to the `tab` key,
which prevents the tab -> TAB remapping.
Use completion-at-point and completion-help-at-point.
(eshell-complete-commands-list): Use `fboundp` test instead of ugly
gymnastics to try and hide the function call from the compiler.
(eshell-pcomplete): Make it an alias of completion-at-point.
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Completion): Change wording to reflect
different default behavior.
Dear eamcs developers, eshells current documentation first states
that alias definitions are not saved to an alias file, later that
they are saved to an alias file. I tested it and the latter is
correct.
Please find attached a patch which fixes this.
Thanks for working on emacs which is really great, Gregor
