[bug #64818] patsubst shorthand documentation bug?

[Parminder Singh]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #64818 (project make):

I rephrase my doubt, according to what the documentation says, if I run the
following code with the 'make test' command the variables 'FOO' and 'FOO2'
should have the same value


STR = HelloWorld

FOO = $(STR:World=Earth)
FOO2 = $(patsubst World,Earth,$(STR))

test: 
        @echo "$(FOO)"
        @echo "$(FOO2)"


but this doesn't seem to be the case, the output I get is:

HelloEarth
HelloWorld
