Code 

Anyways apparently `for x in $(echo "a b c")` is NOT equivalent to `for x in "a b c"`

I am Upset

@socks that's confusing, how so? would echo -n (suppress trailing newline) help?

@noiob
```
[emi@cyrus ~]$ for x in $(echo "a b c"); do echo "x: $x"; done
x: a
x: b
x: c
[emi@cyrus ~]$ for x in "a b c"; do echo "x: $x"; done
x: a b c
```

It doesn't look like `-n` changes anything

re: Code 

@socks fwiw:

% for x in a b c; do echo "x: $x"; done  
x: a
x: b
x: c

and

% for x in "$(echo "a b c")"; do echo "x: $x"; done
x: a b c
