 ps: Just in case it is not obvious, the correct usage is
 
 	local "x=$(echo 1 2 3)"
 or
 	local  x="$(echo 1 2 3)"
 
 (whichever you prefer, they're essentially equivalent).
 
 An alternative would be to empty IFS (or at least remove space)
 before the command, so field splitting does not happen.  (nb: not unset IFS).
