  1. Add the magic back: $@ -> "$@" 

    In bash "$@" is magic (expand arguments while preserving their boundaries). $@ is equivalent to $* and
"$*" is "interpolate all arguments into a single string, separated by the first character of the $IFS value.

Properly wrapping a command and preserving any arguments as they were quoted/escaped on the command line
requires "$@" ... the "magic" form of this variable.
