// SC2124: Assigning an array to a string! Assign as array, or use * instead of @ to concatenate
//
// When assigning $@ or ${array[@]} to a regular variable (not an array),
// only the first element is preserved. This is usually not intended.
//
// Examples:
// Bad:
//   var="$@"                 # Only gets first argument
//   str="${array[@]}"        # Only gets first element
//
// Good:
//   var=("$@")              # Preserve all arguments as array
//   str="$*"                # Concatenate all with IFS
//   var="${array[*]}"       # Concatenate array elements
