This adds a way to call a "function" defined in the environment with arguments. I.e., whereas
run foo
requires one to set the (shell or environment) variables referenced from foo beforehand, with this one can instead do
call foo arg1 arg2 arg3
and use $1... up to $9 in the definition of foo. $# is set so foo can make decisions based on that, and ${3:-default} works as expected.
As I write in patch 2, it should be possible to get rid of the "call" and simply allow
foo arg1 arg2 arg3
i.e. if the search for a command named foo fails, try an environment variable by that name and do it as "call". But that change of behaviour, I think, requires a separate opt-in config knob, and can be done later if someone actually wants that.
