//! Substitution handling — port of zsh/Src/subst.c.
//!
//! subst.c - various substitutions
//!
//! This file is part of zsh, the Z shell.
//!
//! Copyright (c) 1992-1997 Paul Falstad
//! All rights reserved.
//!
//! Direct port of the C code, maintaining the same structure, variable
//! names, and control flow where possible. The Rust port is larger
//! than the C source (~8.6k vs 4.9k lines) primarily because it
//! splits long C arms into named functions, lifts inline `static`
//! helpers into module-level fns, and replaces unsafe pointer walks
//! with explicit `Vec<char>` / `Vec<String>` traversals.
//!
//! Original C file: ~/forkedRepos/zsh/Src/subst.c (4922 lines)
//!
//! All 24 top-level C functions are present:
//! - prefork() — main pre-fork substitution dispatcher
//! - stringsubst() — string substitution engine
//! - stringsubstquote() — $'...' quote processing
//! - paramsubst() — parameter expansion (the largest: ~3300 lines in C)
//! - multsub() — multiple word substitution
//! - singsub() — single word substitution
//! - filesub() / filesubstr() — tilde and equals expansion
//! - equalsubstr() — `=command` substitution
//! - modify() — history-style colon modifiers
//! - dopadding() — left/right padding (4-colon `(l:N:STR1:STR2:)` form)
//! - getmatch() / getmatcharr() — pattern matching
//! - quotestring() — various quoting modes
//! - arithsubst() — arithmetic substitution
//! - globlist() — glob expansion on list
//! - get_strarg() / get_intarg() — argument parsing
//! - strcatsub() — string concatenation for substitution
//! - subst_parse_str() — substitution string parsing
//! - substevalchar() — `(#)` flag evaluation
//! - untok_and_escape() — token un-escape helper
//! - check_colon_subscript() — `:OFFSET[:LEN]` substring detection
//! - dstackent() — directory stack access
//! - keyvalpairelement() — `(kv)` flag pair walker
//! - quotesubst() — quoting helper for substitution
//! - wcpadwidth() — multibyte char display-cell width for `dopadding`
//!
//! Behavioral parity is checked by `tests/zshrs_shell.rs` and the
//! `tests/no_tree_walker_dispatch.rs` invariant suite. Any divergence
//! from `/opt/homebrew/bin/zsh -fc` for the in-scope substitution
//! shapes is treated as a bug — file an issue + add a parity test.
