About prepending strings to an array.

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

See below, it looks like & can not be replaced correctly without escaping.

$ set -- 1 2
$ echo ${@/#/&}
1 2
$ echo ${@/#/\&}
&1 &2

I don't remember this was the case in prior versions of bash. But I
don't have access to older versions of bash to double check. Does
anybody know whether bash has always been like this? Or bash has been
changed in the last few years that cause this change of behavior?
