I'd certainly recommend parameter expansion for this kind of thing,
despite its rococo aspects, but note that you should be able to set
IFS as a prefix to a command line and have it restored after the
command line is executed, otherwise it's a bug. However, that has its
own quirks; in particular, the IFS isn't set until after the command
line is fully expanded. So I think you're going the right way.
