It's certainly hard to see how the old code could work...

  local open close var val front ret tmp=$1

  front=${tmp%%\$*}
  case $tmp in
    (\(*) # Variable of the form $(foobar)

... if tmp still has a $, how can matching it without a $ at the start
of the case be useful?  I'll assume this is an improvement and apply
both patches until someone comes up with a counterexample.
