I can't think of a way to make it work w/o breaking phrase searches
(or asking users to use both single and double-quotes):
lei q 's:"a quick brown fox"' # yuck

Oh, not sure about bash and <<<; but this heredoc should work with any
POSIX sh:
lei q -I https://lore.kernel.org/all/ \
-o ~/work/temp/lei/robh-patches \
--threads --dedupe=mid <<'EOM'
(dfn:drivers OR dfn:arch OR dfn:Documentation OR dfn:include OR dfn:scripts)
AND f:[email protected]
EOM

Maybe, but URI escaping bothers the heck out of me, too.
I guess the heredoc example is actually good...
