I don't think GNU make ever had that particular feature turned on by default.
I did get that to work at least once, but I can't remember if it was with
FreeBSD or Solaris or SunOS.
There's a list of Unix commands that you can type in that have
funny/silly/unexpected results at
http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~steinl/vitser/unixfun.html . F'rexample, start a csh
and type:
If I had a ( for every $ the Congress spent, what would I have?
...however, thanks to improvements and changes in csh and sh over the years,
not all of them produce the error messages they used to.
