This is not confusing if you think of gsub as a function that takes 3 parameters. The value of the 2nd parameter has to be evaluated before the function is called.
As you can see the value of what's being replaced cannot be known until the funtion returns and at this point the 2nd parameter has already be evaluated.

spline(1) User Commands spline(1)
NAME
spline - interpolate smooth curve
SYNOPSIS
spline [-aknpx] ...
DESCRIPTION
spline takes pairs of numbers from the standard input as abcissas and ordinates of a function. It produces a similar set, which is approxi-
mately equally spaced and includes the input set, on the standard output. The cubic spline output (R. W. Hamming, Numerical Methods for
Scientists and Engineers,2nd ed., 349ff) has two continuous derivatives, and sufficiently many points to look smooth when plotted, for
example by graph(1).
OPTIONS
-a Supply abscissas automatically (they are missing from the input); spacing is given by the next argument, or is assumed to be 1 if
next argument is not a number.
-k The constant k used in the boundary value computation
(2nd deriv. at end) = k*(2nd deriv. next to end)
is set by the next argument. By default k = 0.
-n Space output points so that approximately n intervals occur between the lower and upper x limits. (Default n = 100.)
-p Make output periodic, that is, match derivatives at ends. First and last input values should normally agree.
-x Next 1 (or 2) arguments are lower (and upper) x limits. Normally these limits are calculated from the data. Automatic abcissas
start at lower limit (default 0).

DIAGNOSTICS
When data is not strictly monotonic in x, spline reproduces the input without interpolating extra points.
BUGS
A limit of 1000 input points is enforced silently.
