I am not interested in a brittle function that leaks variables into the global
scope:
$ quote_rndtrip aa
'aa'
$ echo "[$i]"
[aa]
$ echo "[$j]"
[ ]
I am interested in having Dash source code modified such that it supports arrays
natively. If you have a patch for that I would be interested, thank you.
