That question was directed at Daniel, not you.

That was Daniel, so he should respond.  I guess he meant literal "${"
strings, which could legitimately be part of input.

Please use DELIMITER, not DELIMITOR.

                      ^^^^^^^^^            ^^^^^^^^^
Same here.

Coding style: a space between function's name and the left
parenthesis.

This line is too long, please break into two.

> +  p = evaluate_environment_from_string (p);

Are we perhaps leaking memory pointed to by `p' before the above line
executes?
