- control structures can have redirections (while read l; do ...; done
< file), which apply to all commands in them; they run in the shell
- in pipes and in the background they run in a subshell (cmd | while
read l; do ...; done, for ...; done &, a && b &)
- ( list ) subshells; ( and ) are operators now
- here-documents <<EOF, <<-EOF, <<'EOF' and here-strings <<<word
- redirections of source apply to the commands of the file
- fix non-ASCII characters in quotes being mangled ('für')

- functions: name() { ...; }, function name { ...; }, return, local,
unset -f; in pipes, & and $(...) they run in a subshell that gets all
function definitions and the positional parameters
- positional parameters $0, $1 ... ${10}, $#, "$@", "$*", $$; set by
gosh script args, gosh -c command name args, function calls,
source file args and set --; shift; for x without "in"
- case word in pattern|pattern) ...;; esac and { list; } groups
- read [-r] [-p prompt] [name ...] with $IFS splitting and $REPLY

- new parser (parser.go) for lists, pipelines, ! and if/elif/else/fi,
for ... in ... do/done, while/until ... do/done; simple commands are
kept as text and expanded when they run (in every iteration)
- break [n], continue [n] and the : builtin
- incomplete input (open control structure, trailing &&, |, quote or
backslash) continues on the next line: prompt "> " in interactive
shells, scripts and startup files read on
- Ctrl+C aborts the whole command line, including loops
- aliases are expanded at the start of every simple command, also inside
control structures
- control structures in pipelines, with redirections or in the
background are reported as not supported
- completion: commands after if, then, do etc.
- main_test.go reformatted with gofmt
