what you've read/quoted matters at the expansion step, but that isnt what i'm |
| 16 |
talking about. i'm pointing out that the expansion is lost by assigning |
| 17 |
through the variable. thus the same behavior of the whole function is as if |
| 18 |
"$*" is used. |

trivial example: |
| 21 |
set -- a "b c" d |
| 22 |
printf "{%s} " "$@" ; echo |
| 23 |
sources="$@" |
| 24 |
printf "{%s} " "$sources" ; echo |
| 25 |
printf "{%s} " $sources ; echo |
