This doesn't work because bash doesn't substitute twice. If you have a string with "$varname" in it, it won't go back and start over and realize you also wanted $varname to be evaluated, too!
To do that kind of doublethink, you have to stuff it into an eval.
ARGS="$(eval $stringwithvarinit)"
Beware that you can do anything in an eval. Someone could stuff an `rm -rf ~/` in your config file and it could run it.

Say you have this numeric variable that can be set by the user but you never want it to leave a certain range when it gets printed. How could you use parameter expansion such that it will never expand outside of that boundary? Thanks
