Thank you, and thanks for the suggestion. Yes, it should be possible to keep the SC2154 check. I probably just disabled it as a quick fix when first started out. I'm tracking this in https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/shellcheck-repl/issues/15.

It seems like ShellCheck is already aware of these special Bash variable, e.g. 'echo $RANDOM' will not trigger SC2154 (or even SC2086 that otherwise asks you to quote variables).
