No, I think that's the way to approach it.  There's a history of using
${1+"$@"} instead of plain "$@" but I forget why;  perhaps because some
sh used to turn "$@" into "" when there were no arguments, just as "$*"
does.  But that's history so I'd go with the simple clean way.  dummyarg
could be /bin/sh.

Cheers, Ralph.
