I hadn't tested it then, but I just did now, and it works.

  gsh -D guix lua <<EOF
  echo "hello"
  lua -e 'print "hello"'
  guile -c '(display "hello") (newline)'
  EOF
  hello
  hello
  hello

I don't think it'll make any difference; if, say, "foo" "bar" "baz" is
passed, both $@ and "$@" will expand to "foo" "bar" "baz" (yes, bypassing
the quotes).

According to POSIX.1-2017's specification of `sh`:

  When the expansion occurs within double-quotes, the behavior is unspecified
  unless one of the following is true:

  + Field splitting [...] would be performed if the expansion were not within
    double-quotes [...].

  + [...]

So, $@ == "$@".

I can't disagree on that one. :)
