    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Observe the following example:
When 'function' is expended (into 'dummy') the foreach works on a variable
made of NEWLINE. This may be very confusing.

Makefile
------------------------
define function
$(foreach 
, $1,$(info $(
)))
endef

dummy := $(call function, aaa bbb ccc)

all:


Output
------------------------
aaa
bbb
ccc
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
