Prior to this fix, a "bare variable" in math like 'x + 1' would be
looked up in the environment, i.e. equivalent to '$x + 1'. This appears
to have been done for performance. However this breaks the orthogonality
of fish; performance is not a sufficient justification to give math this
level of built-in power, especially because the performance of math is
not a bottleneck. The implementation is also ugly.
Remove this feature so that variables must be prefixed with the dollar
sign and undergo normal variable expansion. Reading 'git grep' output
does not show any uses of this in fish functions or completions.
Also added to changelog.

Instead of treating the search term as a literal string to be matched
treat it as a glob. This allows the user to get a more useful set of
results by using the `*` glob character in the search term.
Partial fix for #3136
* Hoist `for` loop control var to enclosing scope
It should be possible to reference the last value assigned to a `for`
loop control var when the loop terminates. This makes it easier to detect
if we broke out of the loop among other things. This change makes fish
`for` loops behave like most other shells.
Fixes#1935
* Remove redundant line
Using a read-only variable like `status` as a for loop control variable
has never worked. But without this change you simply get non-sensical
behavior that leaves you scratching your head in puzzlement. This change
replaces the non-sensical behavior with an explicit error message.
Fixes#4342
The `react_to_variable_change()` function is called whenever a fish var
is set. Even as a consequence of statements like `for x in a b c`. It is
therefore critical that that function be as fast as possible. Especially
when setting the var doesn't have any side-effects which is true something
like 99.9999% of the time.
This change reduces the overhead of `react_to_variable_change()` to
unmeasurable levels. Making the synthetic benchmark in issue #4341
36% faster.
Fixes#4341
This makes command substitutions impose the same limit on the amount
of data they accept as the `read` builtin. It does not limit output of
external commands or builtins in other contexts.
Fixes#3822
Rewrite the `abbr` function to store each abbreviation in a separate
variable. This greatly improves the efficiency. For the common case
it is 5x faster. For pathological cases it is upwards of 100x faster.
Most people should be able to unconditionally define abbreviations in
their config.fish without a noticable slow down.
Fixes#4048
