As they do not remember exact syntax and would have to look it up? ;)
As it looks uglier? As it needs more characters (two apostrophes instead
of one backslash)?

And why did you changed "$@" to ${1:+"$@"}? "$@" is expanded to
nothing (instead of empty string) when no parameters where given (it is
not "$*"). More punctuation marks do not make a code better (otherwise
Perl would rule the world)! ;)
