I don't believe there is a good way of preserving quotes (') in $*. I
ran into this while trying to:

% window winwatch -e '^(winwatch|stats|faces)'  # will not work
% window winwatch -e '''^(winwatch|stats|faces)'''  # works

I think this comes down to how quotes are handled in $*:

% tail -1 /rc/bin/window    # the relevant line
if not echo new -cd `{pwd} $* >> `{getwctl}

having to stack quotes manually makes interactions like cut-paste
awkward/unusable.
