$IFS=$'\t\n' (' ' is missing) prevents printing an array in one line. This clash for eg. with print_vars function.

Option 1: Disable strict-mode IFS and use the standard IFS=$' \t\n'. And we are done.
Option 2: Write a function to print/concatenate arrays to a oneliner.

This is the expected behavior when setting IFS. IMO not what the user expected.
