Mike,
I'm sorry, that was a short answer. My thoughts in this situation were that
partial or soft-quoting "" would not offer any additional protection that full
or hard-quoting '' did not already provide. From ABS:
partial quoting [double quote]. "STRING" preserves (from interpretation)
most of the special characters within STRING.
full quoting [single quote]. 'STRING' preserves all special characters
within STRING. This is a stronger form of quoting than "STRING".
I'd run across this a couple of days ago on the pacman -Ss reformat script work.
