assignments need no quoting to prevent word splitting.
repeats below.

I think it is quite common for us to quote variables when it isn't strictly necessary as it makes it clear to anyone reading the script that there is no word splitting going on

and ensures that we don't start splitting the variable if the contents changes in the future.

the point was that it *isn't* content-dependent; it's simply the shell rules.

Oh, I'd misunderstood what you were saying which was that assignment and case statements are not subject to field splitting.

of course, many people (apparently you included) don't know these subtleties

I find this comment to be condescending, needlessly antagonistic and completely at odds with the norms of constructive discussion on this list.

the observation was necessary for the point i subsequently made (which was basically agreeing with the first part of your response).

It was not necessary to phrase it as you did though. Before replying
on Friday I showed your comment to someone else and their reaction was
"That's rude". You could have made your point by saying something like

    It is hard to remember all the shell's word splitting rules so
    quoting everywhere is not a bad idea.

This is not the first time I've found your comments unnecessarily
adversarial and at odds with the norms of constructive discussion and
respectful disagreement on this list. I don't think I'm the only one
either - in [1] Junio points out an ad-hominem remark and in [2] Marc
comments on the unreceptive tone of you review responses.

I would urge you to try and strike a more conciliatory tone in your
messages - it is perfectly possible to correct or disagree with
someone without alienating them in the process.

Yeah, I've also noticed a not so great tone is some of Oswald's messages. It's perfectly fine to disagree on something, but it isn't that great to put the other party down while doing that, even to the point of insulting them.

We're all humans, and we should treat each other with respect. Furthermore, disagreeing in a friendly and polite way can many times lead to finding a better solution together.

Best Wishes

Phillip
