Aleksandr Dubinsky commented on EXEC-94:
----------------------------------------
I tried asking this in another issue, but it's probably better posed here. Why
does `addArgument` try to do any quoting at all? What's the use-case?
> CommandLine unconditionally trims arguments

> Project: Commons Exec
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> The CommandLine private Argument class unconditionally trims argument values.
> This is wrong; it should be possible to pass arguments as-is to the executor.
> Fixing this unilaterally might break some code, so it is probably necessary
> to introduce a new method, for example:
> addRawArgument(String)
> This should save the exact argument without trimming and without quoting.
