The command name, or the pattern of the command, without the initial backslash.

n

replacement

What to replace the nth argument with.

warn

If the nth argument is not present, emit a warning? Set to FALSE for n-ary commands.

Details

nth_arg_positions reports the starts and stops of the command for every line. This includes the braces (in order to accommodate instances where the argument is empty).
