(eval 'Toast)people always forget about the humble printf in shell
for example, imagine you want to some operation like sort uniq over space separated values in a string (traditional way to do arrays besides set —): instead of echo into IFS mangling etc consider:
printf ‘%s\n’ $VARS | …
want = pairs? printf ‘%s=%s\n’
and so on
