    Are you sure you found it in that exact syntax (especially with the = sign)? Because for me, bash doesn't like it. However without the = it would be a function definition. Commented Aug 29, 2014 at 16:13
  • Yeah, that is how it appears... There are several other examples of that also. Yeah, I tried it out and got an error from bash about it, but I have examples of it in my ENV. Commented Aug 29, 2014 at 16:30
