Keegan Witt commented on GROOVY-7545:
-------------------------------------
I should add, if you can think of a way to make this work, I'd love to hear it.
Just keep all the complexities in mind:
* Unmatched single quotes used as apostrophes
* Single quotes, double quotes, and/or spaces in binary names and/or arguments
* Nesting of single and double quotes to control args of binary (double or
single might be outermost)
> Incorrect handling of quotes in executed strings
> ------------------------------------------------
