[BUG] any subtitution with @/*: ${@#str} or ${*#str} etc

[Vladimir N. Oleynik]

Hello.

$ showargs() {
    local i=0 a
    echo \$\#=$#
    for a; do
     echo \$$((i=i+1))=$a
    done
}
$ set -- ab bb bc

$ showargs "${@#b}"
$#=3
$1=ab
$2=bb
$3=bc

but need:
$#=3
$1=ab
$2=b
$3=c

$ showargs "${@%bb}"
$#=2
$1=ab
$2=

but need:
$#=3
$1=ab
$2=
$3=bc

$ echo "${*%b}"
ab bb bc

but need:
a b bc

etc etc

I wanted to make a fix, but the code is easier to completely rewrite
than fix. :(

Interesting moment: bash/ksh produde "a b bc" always, but zsh produce
more funny and like for me:

$ echo ${*%b}
a b bc

$ echo "${*%b}"
ab bb bc

$ echo "${*%c}"
ab bb b

but a knotty logic also:

$ echo "${*#a}"
ab bb bc

$ echo ${*#a}
b bb bc

ohhh
