+### What's working?

+In short, quite a lot. Standard and extended control flow, word expansion, most frequently used builtin commands, pipelines, redirection, variables, etc. The plumbing for completion is present, along with support for common cases (e.g. file/dir completion, basic support for programmable completion such as used with git and other tools).

   You can run `some-command &` but it's proof-of-concept quality at best. Standard job management via `fg`, `bg`, and `jobs` is not fully implemented. This would be a great area for enthusiastic contributors to dive in :).
 * **Honoring `set` options (e.g., `set -e`).**
   The `set` builtin is implemented, as is `set -x` and a few other options, but most of the behaviors aren't there. `set -e`, for example, will execute but its semantics aren't applied across execution.
+* **Backtick (`) expansions**
+  Modern command expansions (e.g. `$(command)`) work fine. It's just the tokenizing and parsing of backtick syntax that isn't there. 
 
 Shell built-ins are a mixed bag. Some are completely and fully implemented (e.g. echo), while some only support their most commonly used options. Some aren't implemented at all.
 
-There's certainly more gaps; with time we'll find a way to represent the gaps in some understandable way.
