 Let's gradually convert our scripts to use:
 {{{
 set -e
 set -u
 set -o pipefail
 }}}

 And maybe:
 {{{
 IFS=$'\n\t'
 }}}

 These settings help catch common errors in bash scripts at runtime:

 (Shellcheck helps us catch errors while writing scripts, but it can't help
 with runtime failures.)

 Follow-up to #33451.
