Creating a new subshell just to avoid re-setting IFS seems counter-productive to me.

Re Besides I don't really believe you recover the old IFS fully: word splitting is not performed on the RHS of variable assignments (but quote removal is), so OLDIFS=$IFS and OLDIFS="$IFS" behave the same way.

this is a really useful technique. i just used it for a cleaner shell join op: args=$(IFS='&'; echo "$*"). restoring IFS to $' \t\n' in a Bourne shell friendly manner is no mean feat.
