Summary

0002244: msh treats "$@" incorrectly (does not expand/requote)

Description

msh treats "$@" like "$*" instead of taking into account its special meaning

Additional Information

this example code:
#!/bin/sh
for f in "$@" ; do
echo "ARG: $f"
done
for f in $@ ; do
echo "unARG: $f"
done

should output like:
$ ./test.sh 1 2
ARG: 1
ARG: 2
unARG: 1
unARG: 2

but instead we get:
ARG: 1 2
unARG: 1
unARG: 2
