For a marginally simpler, or at least shorter, version, use `for n; do
...` rather than `for n in "$@"; do` -- Bash loops over positional
arguments by default if you don't specify a list with `in`.

Perfect for confusing anyone else (or indeed yourself at some point in
the future) who isn't familiar with the many, many idiosyncrasies of
shell languages.
