As I have explained every other time it has come up there is exactly
one way to fix it: a policy that makes expansion happen only for
unquoted arguments. Someone just has to do it.
The fact that this behaviour has persisted this long and that no one has
volunteered to fix it is a bit intimidating.
How large scale would the required changes be?
I assume the fact that arguments were quoted would have to be preserved
and the implementation of all existing commands touched so that they can
actually make use of that information (even if only if() would currently
make use of it).
Are there any major pitfalls to look out for?
