# given by the variable modifier and returns its output.

# The command to be run is enclosed between exclamation marks.
# The previous value of the expression is irrelevant for this modifier.
# The :!cmd! modifier turns an undefined expression into a defined one.

# Between 2000-04-29 and 2020-11-17, the error message mentioned the previous
# value of the expression (which is usually an empty string) instead of the
# command that was executed. It's strange that such a simple bug could
# survive such a long time.
