Description:
Using associative array variable that has a single quote in index does
not work withing (( )) without a trick.
Repeat-By:
declare -A a
b="80's"
((++a[$b]))
((++a["$b"]))
[[ $((++a[$b])) ]] || true
[[ $((++a["$b"])) ]] || true # this finally works and makes the variable =1
echo ${a["$b"]}
echo ${a[$b]}
