I'm tempted to add a place holder for all the variations of this forkbomb, until I teach the parser about functions.

You'll be amazed how many people try this (or other 'malicious' commands), presumably thinking I'm executing the queries. ;)

I tried this, but not because I believed that you would execute it, but because a very important use of such a tool would be to explain potentially dangerous commands and their implications.

I searched the classic sudo rm -rf /, too. Just to see if it would adequately explain it.

It could just compare the literal string and have static explanation just for this command.

It's the halting problem, not the parsing problem.
