I was talking about referencing variables when declaring other variables.
Whenever you actually use a variable in-line (e.g. as a parameter to a
command), you have to quote as well of course.
i.e.
A=${B}
and not
cd ${B}
The difference is that bash handles variable assignments all interally and is
smart enough to handle ${B} properly, while vars that are passed to some
command are just evaluated and passed to the command in question and cannot
be "protected" anymore by bash. AFAIK.
