All qemu-iotests scripts do these things in the same way and I'd like
for them to be consistent.
If we make these changes they should be applied to all qemu-iotests
scripts. I agree with your points but also think the value in making
the change now is small.
Do you want to send a patch that fixes these issues in qemu-iotests?
The general shell scripting style used there is quite old school and
makes use of backquotes often.
