IFS-based parsing is the way I might have been tempted to do it before I
ran into the array thing.. I never liked using IFS much .. so maybe
that's why I kinda like the array solution. Economical since you just
add those outer parentheses and you're done. Don't need a for loop or
anything .. But then some would say it breaks the rule of least surprise
.. it's cryptic .. etc.
Thanks,
