#2007: :main deals poorly with \escape characters

Comment (by NeilMitchell):
Using "quotes" to group arguments is definately a good idea. Treating \n
as a newline rather than the literal slash followed by n follows the Linux
behaviour, but would probably be a bit annoying for Windows users. Ideally
the syntax for :main should be identical to the system shell - whatever
that may be. Is it too frustrating to have the same command behave
differently depending on your OS?
