Program text is initially text.[*] During parsing (either in

in tokens.
And then, how do you interpret the tokens? In a shell language, you have
the assumption that “everything is literal text until indicated
otherwise”; in a programming language, you have the assumption that
“everything is a program construct until indicated otherwise”.
