In a shell script, $@ contains all the arguments to the script (NOT
including the name of the script itself, unlike argv in C). So if a
script just has 'echo $@' in it, then it is functionally equivalent to
'echo' (except doesn't have the command line options, obviously).
Note that if you 'shift' the arguments then that cuts the front one
off what $@ reports.
