The issue is due to the $ escaping that happens around shell.c:354.
Imagine you have some data like this:
```
something\tsomethingelse\tend
something new\tsomethingelsemnew\tendnew
something new new\tsomethingelsenewnew\tendnewnew
```
and you need to get the first column and last column. Since you're an expert awk(1) programmer you know that this is a simple `awk '{ print $1 $3 }'`. However, if you selected this region and ran it in ait, it won't work. This is very sad and will cause depression.
