Errr... No. Example:
u...@mvs:138$ cat foocmd
/* rexx */
trace R
parse arg cmd
address tso '"'cmd'"' /* singlequote, doublequote, singlequote */
address tso cmd /* no quotes */
u...@mvs:139$ foocmd time
4 *-* parse arg cmd
>>> "time"
5 *-* address tso '"'cmd'"' /* singlequote, doublequote, singlequote */
>>> ""time""
TSOLNK failed: rc=20 rsn=44 code=FFFFFFFF
7 *-* address tso cmd /* no quotes */
>>> "time"

I am continually astonished by the ingenuity programmers exhibit
in taking something simple that works and transforming it into
something complicated that doesn't work.
I'd be interested in seeing an example that works with the funky
quotes but fails in their absence.
