You won't get anything authoritative from me, but I have noticed traps 
for the unwary, for example:

   $ mkdir newdir; cd newdir
   $ touch 'one space' 'and two spaces'
   $ for jim in *; do echo $jim; done
   and two spaces
   one space

So far, so good, but:

   $ for jim in `ls`; do echo $jim; done
   and
   two
   spaces
   one
   space

which is not what was intended.

Cheers,
David
