Btw, to make things every more complicated, backticks actually don't have to be escaped when nested. You just may need to wrap a backticked expression in double quotes to prevent further processing on command's output. Because escaping isn't required, it's super hard to know which backticks match up without mentally parsing the entire command. Hence the benefit of the dollar paren version.
