Default "echo one foo=bar" gives an unexpected result. Why ?

I recall a desktop publishing SW package which had "at least two
ways to do everything." Which was kind of neat, but kind of a PITA as
you had to learn both ways.


Why did you have to learn both ways?

Windows, of course, has multiple ways to do most things (most of which
we here probably all use without thinking).

Reminded me of the time I wound up trying to learn Boolean Algebra
in two separate classes, with two separate sets of notation. I got
the concepts, mostly, but still have trouble "reading" the statements.
