Have they not heard of shellcheck?
__bma_read_filters "arg1 arg2" arg3
With unquoted $@:
• Gets word split into: arg1 arg2 arg3 • Results in: arg1|arg2|arg3
With quoted "$@":
• Would be passed as: "arg1 arg2" arg3 • Results in: "arg1 arg2"|arg3
The unquoted version is correct here since the function is intentionally using word splitting to create individual grep pattern elements.
This is one of those cases where the normal "always quote your variables" rule has a valid exception because word splitting is part of the intended behavior.
