--- Comment #3 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
re comment #1: I don't think this needs documentation, since it's a)
pretty standard behaviour for user programs to use $SHELL where
available (e.g. in ssh). BTW, the ENVIRONMENT section is for variables
that are set when logging in, not variables that ssh uses internally so
even if we did document it

re comment #3: ITerm2 is clearly doing the wrong thing here. If it's
passing stuff from an untrusted source (e.g. the web) to a shell
program, then it's ITerm2's job to ensure that it's appropriately
sanitised first.
