Details

The $() and `` command substitutions are not parsed and displayed correctly.

Especially in the source array this is very ugly: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26998

You probably do not want to run the command substitutions on the server. But it would be nice if they were just displayed without any expansion.

Thus source=("http://$(echo a | sed "s/a/b/" )/") would be diplayed as http://$(echo a | sed s/a/b/ ") without running the command substitution but parsing whitespace correctly.
This task depends upon

There's a limit to how much you can make it without implementing a full bash parser. The short answer is "Don't do that".

It also breaks the style guidelines and makes the package less readable in general.

I guess this should either be closed as "WONTFIX" (since this cannot be implemented without implementing a full bash parser, as Daenyth already said) or changed to a feature request in which case it might be a dupe of  FS#15043 .
