 ### Evaluate
 Evaluate expressions take the general form of a dollar sign (`$`) followed by some _expression_, which is evaluated by the rules below.
 - Should the _expression_ be a string, it shall be evaluated as a dynamic variable lookup by first evaluating the string, and then looking up the given variable.
-- Should the _expression_ be a list or a command, it shall be converted to a command, whose output (from the standard output) shall be captured, and split to a list with the shell local variable `IFS` (or the default splitter `\n` (newline, 0x0a)). It should be noted that the shell option `inline_exec_keep_empty_segments` will determine whether empty segments in the split list shall be preserved when this expression is evaluated, this behaviour is disabled by default.
