Thanks for this ideas. (And sorry for the delayed reply.)
Obeying quotes and escapes is a good idea, but I think expanding wildcards
and the other features are superfluous (at least as a blackbox menu
entry). If someone wants this further support, they should just use "sh
-c" (or my [shexec]) to have the shell do the extra work.
