# rfish: To eval 'foo', we construct a block "begin ; foo; end <&3 3<&-"
# The 'eval2_inner' is a param to 'begin' itself; I believe it does nothing.
# Note the redirections are also within the quotes.
#
# We then pipe this to 'source 3<&0' which dup2's 3 to stdin.
#
# You might expect that the dup2(3, stdin) should overwrite stdin,
# and therefore prevent 'source' from reading the piped-in block. This doesn't
# happen because when you pipe to a builtin, we don't overwrite stdin with the
# read end of the block; instead we set a separate fd in a variable 'builtin_stdin',
# which is what it reads from. So builtins are magic in that, in pipes, their stdin
# is not fd 0.
