Right.  Yeah, I know about the special nature of the ${} syntax, but as 
you say, once
a closing brace is found, the following brace is just a character within 
the quotes.
It bugs me how long it's taking me to stop thinking in C.  Mind ... do 
you ever really
need the outer quotes around an array like that?  Without the quotes I 
get my
error msg as I'd intuitively expect it, and it seems now that it's the 
quotes that
are counterintuitive because ${} obviates them, no?  In this case it 
seems only
to hide the '}' error, still ...  with the 'quote everything' rule I end 
up hardly
even seeing quotes anymore and it gets lazy, I'd like to use them to effect,
not just as a matter of course.
