Synopsis:
$qword(<index> <list>)
Technical:
- If the <index> argument is omitted, the empty string is returned.
- If the <list> argument is omitted, the empty string is returned.
- The <index> argument is taken as an integer number.
- If <index> is a negative number, the empty string is returned.
- The return value is the <index>th word in <list>, counting from zero.
- Remember that <list> is always a list of words.
- In either case, if the return value is double-quoted if it contains a space.
- If <index> is greater than the number of words in <list>, the empty string is returned.
