Oh, yeah, FWIW, @domogled's apparent intent can be gotten with
let x = r""""--title:new title with whitespace""""
# ^start with " can skip 1^
Run
on both Linux & Windows. Not great, but maybe not totally useless.
There are "better" external things to do X for most X in the stdlib. Forum
search fails me at the moment, but at some point Araq said something like
"stdlib cannot keep up with anything!" There have been big discussions &
experiments on evolving it with inconclusive results. Repeating all that here
seems less prudent than a new Forum thread.
FWIW, I was ok with that PR under a new name/etc. as it was evolving to. I just
thought imposing a need for `try/except` where it wasn't before was needlessly
disruptive (and I took issue with what I thought weak arguments and an overly
narrow perspective).
