  * PTR is an in/out parameter.  On entry it contains the string of colon
  * modifiers.  On return it points past the last recognised modifier.
  *
+ * INBRACE is non-zero if we are in some form of a bracketed or
+ * parenthesised expression; it is zero for modifiers ocurring
+ * in an an unbracketed variable substitution.  This means that
+ * $foo:t222 is treated ias ${foo:t}222 rather than ${foo:t222}
+ * for backward compatibility.

  * Example:
  *     ENTRY:   *str is "."   *ptr is ":AN"
  *     RETURN:  *str is "/home/foobar" (equal to $PWD)   *ptr points to the "N"
