> The string replacement is weird because of how calls to the registered IOC shell functions are executed. I previously had added a function into base that allowed me to query the IOC's function registrar for the functions that had been registered. However, later on, one of the base developers decided that they didn't like the idea of having that access to outside code, so it was removed.

A very bad decision IMO. Can we please reopen discussion on that?

> Because that got removed, the way that calling IOC shell functions happens is by constructing a string and calling iocshCmd. iocshCmd is what is processing the string replacements and why it is only happening when calling epics functions.

You should not be forced to resort to such a horrible kludge.
