Scripts: use niceties like $@, local, ...=(*) etc., and undo all the tedious rookie ${var} chickening...

[xparq]

I mean, now that I actually looked at the ash manpage, I can be sure that $var is just fine. :) (Yyyep, it would have taken less effort to look it up upfront than all the repeatedly mistyped { and }...)

[xparq]

Non-subshell cmd grouping with {...; ...; } (mind the trailing ;!), e.g. for nicer oneliners, or common redir:

{ cmd1; cmd2; } > out

[xparq]

OK, now that the test scripts have a new home, closing this here, and continuing there: xparq/Space_Test#30

Wow: amazingly, that issue ID also happens to be 30! :)

BTW. the other "Scripts: ..." issues should also be migrated!
