Description:
        I haven't read the standard, but Solaris /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
        will output "$foo", not "foo" as the result of the command
        echo $"foo".  That is what I would expect intuitively, too.
        (I noticed this due to a typo in Red Hat 7.1's script
        /etc/init.d/xfs, which had no visible effect.)

Repeat-By:
        echo $"foo"
