That's true, but I feel there's a bit of irony that you mention code audit
here because the only reason I started quoting everything is so that I
don't have to reason about the scope/content/provenance of variable
contents.



I actually learnt this habit from the shellfire project code style, and
http:// <http://shellcheck.net>shellcheck.net complains if you fail to
quote variables.

This is why I came to CLUG, I've only had things like shellcheck,
stackoverflow, and the occasional misleading tutorial

 to teach myself odd habits, it's good to see how people are using the
tools.
