A serious quoting problem with dash is another reason to declare and assign separately. Dash is the [default, `/bin/sh` shell on Ubuntu](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh). More specifically, dash version 0.5.8-2.10 and others cannot run this code:
```sh
f(){ local e=$1; }
g(){ local g=$(printf '%s' "foo 2"); }
f "1 2"
export g=$(printf '%s' "foo 2")
g
```
While this runs fine in other shells, [dash doesn't treat this as an assignment](http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#local_var.3D.24.28cmd.29) and fails like this:
```
local: 2: bad variable name
export: 2: bad variable name
```
The direct workaround to this bug is to quote the right-hand-side of the assignment. Separating declaraction and assignment also makes this runs fine in any shell.
