22?X: This unit produces a bit of shell code that must be dotted in in order
23?X: to warn the user in case a change into a variable is noticed.
24?X:
25?X: To use this unit, $was must hold the old value that has changed. Upon
26?X: exit, the two variables $td and $tu are set to the correct value for
27?X: respectively defining or undefining a variable. For instance, if $vas was
28?X: $undef, but now $var is $define, after calling . whoa, you should use
29?X: eval "$var=\$tu" to finally set $var to the correct value. See unit Inlibc.
