I am having trouble understanding what is the difference between "$variable" and 
"${variable}".

 I have read sh(1) and understand than ${} is a "parameter" and can contain more than 
just a variable, but browsing through /etc/rc I see lots of "${variable}" (i.e. "case 
${svc_val} in").

 Is this just for readability or is there some functional difference?
