That’s also what keeps lingering in the back of my head. However, I
cannot recall the reasons why $* would be unsafe. Unfortunately,
googling for either $* or $@ is not exactly…helpful.
Maybe you have a link or a hint to a man page regarding this topic?
bash(1) does not appear to mention $@.
Best regards & thank you very much,
