ng from *bash*.
Indeed, trying to use `printf` to assign a value to `$1` for example,
does return a error:
> bash$ printf -v 1 2
> -bash: `1': not a valid identifier
> bash$ echo $?
> 2
Repeat-By:
> bash$ readonly var=1
> bash$ var=2
> -bash: var: readonly variable
> bash$ echo $?
> 1
> bash$ printf -v var 2
> -bash: var: readonly variable
> echo $?
> 0
Sincerely yours,
