"The standard output from a command enclosed in parentheses preceded by 
a dollar sign ( $( ) ) or a pair of grave accents ( ` ` ) may be used 
as part or all of a word; trailing new-lines are removed. In the second 
(obsolete) form, the string between the quotes is processed for special 
quoting characters before the command is executed (see Quoting  below). 
The command substitution  $( cat file )  can be replaced by the 
equivalent but faster  $( <file )".
