I worry about quoting. Anytime you accept and pass on a argument list, typically means that you destroy the argument list, unless you have something to quote it for you. bash (sh in general) has a fetish for destroying arguments. :-( A linker option that has \, or spaces or ' or " in it, is the type of problem I'm thinking of. Also applies to filenames.
