+## Trim quotes from a string
+
+**Example Function:**
+
+```sh
+trim_quotes() {
+    # Usage: trim_quotes "string"
+
+    # Disable globbing.
+    # This makes the word-splitting below safe.
+    set -f

+
+    # Set 'IFS' to ["'].
+    IFS=\"\'
+
+    # Create an argument list, splitting the
+    # string at ["'].
+    #
+    # Disable this shellcheck error as it only
+    # warns about word-splitting which we expect.
