Doing some housekeeping in a utility of mine, and knowing that quotation is usually best -- besides it sets the color coding in my editor the way I like it -- I changed this:

set -A "${IN[mouse_clicks]}" $Mclicks

... to this:

set -A "${IN[mouse_clicks]}" "$Mclicks"

... and it broke the function. Why would that be? I haven't done any forensics on it at all, because maybe there's some simple, obvious reason.
