Which way do you expand variables?

Brackets make it explicit what you're trying to do. Do you want "dingbar" or do you want "dong"? I forget what the actual behavior is if you don't use brackets here, because I always use brackets for this reason now
I believe the actual behavior here would be printing “dong” as the shell interpreter is greedy in its evaluation of variables.
the actual behavior here is to echo the literal string "$foobar", because the $ sign is escaped. so no variable expansion will take place at all.
Oh lol. It doesn't show the $ at all on my mobile app till I escaped it
ah, so it's up to the client. I'm using jerboa, in this case
