Summary0001514: More "positional parameter" problems
DescriptionBug 0001491 identified a problem with XCU 2.5.1 Positional Parameters. Searching the standard for other uses of "positional parameter" turned up three more problems:

1. The definition of positional parameter in XBD 3.283 needs to change in line with the change to XCU 2.5.1.

2. There is some text in the shell introduction in XCU that refers to "the positional parameter numbered 0".

3. The m4 rationale uses "positional parameter" when, for consistency with the normative text that it refers to, it should say "argument".
Desired ActionOn page 79 line 2267 section 3.283 Positional Parameter, change:
In the shell command language, a parameter denoted by a single digit or one or more digits in curly braces.
to:
In the shell command language, a parameter denoted by a decimal representation of a positive integer.


Cross-volume changes to XCU ...

On page 2345 line 74687 section 2.1 Shell Introduction, change:
as the positional parameter numbered 0
to:
as special parameter 0

On page 2940 line 97373 section m4, change:
the eleventh positional parameter
to:
the eleventh argument
