GNU `bash`
==========
(Associative) arrays
--------------------
### Expansion
#### Do
func ${arr[@]+"${arr[@]}"}
#### Don't
func "${arr[@]}" # Doesn't work with `nounset`.
func "${arr[@]+"${arr[@]}"}" # Doesn't work properly with `declare -a arr=('')`.
### `unset`
#### Do
unset -v 'arr[x]'
unset -v 'arr[$i]'
#### Don't
unset -v arr[x] # May break due to globbing.
unset -v arr[$i] # The same as above + a possible problem with quotation.
unset -v 'arr["x"]' # Doesn't work for some reason.
unset -v 'arr["]"]' # The same as above; just highlighting the problem with funny characters in array indices.
unset -v 'arr["$i"]' # Also rejected.
