Re: printf $variable inside initial parenthesis or use %s?

[Roger]

Shrugs... The idea (or more exactly, guess) was rendered after reading the 
builtin printf documentation within the Bash manual, as well as searching 
Google for any other relevant information.

So the bottom line on the simple versus %s format, the simple method is fine as 
along the code/maintainer has explicit control over the contents of the 
variable?

If the variable has possibility of outside/user modification of the variable, 
then resort to the lengthier %s format usage?

Think most of us know the more secure method, and the simple method provides 
easier reading.
