Do we actually have any style convention applicable here?

I personally prefer to quote strings, even though I know exactly where and when they are needed.

I like the idea of this program, but in the case of quoting, the above linked result looks worse in my opinion.

I know it's not authorative, but googles style guide agrees: https://google.github.io/styleguide/shellguide.html
