Whee, my chance to be the useless use of cat asshole.
Why the echo? "for" should handle a list of terms just fine.
Pedantic assholery aside, genuine question. Is this some sort of shell expansion injection countermeasure of which I am unfamiliar?
And for the record I quite enjoy employing the useless use of cat. It turns pumping a file into a pipeline from a screwball shell meta command into a command isometric to any other command. I sort of wish tee had a "suppress stdout flag" so it could be used more naturally as cat's counterpart.

Would it be mean if I said I do that to expose cat rectum? I used to cat to tac to cat but that was too on the nose. Another fun one is mixed case HtMl elements. I miss that old dokimos site from 2001.
