Sheesh, that's a new one again. I'll add that to my list of potential
expand/protect/join/split/slice/don't-slice/compact/don't-compact
candidate syntaxes. How you guys can possibly parse all this is too

"${array[@]}" ... Read: protect the elements of this array, do any expansions within them, but do NOT combine them ??
