Hi Chris,

Thanks for pointing out the shlex bug. My concern was that shlex had
Windows specific Unicode limitations because of the way the Windows
shell so poorly supports unicode output.

> Kudos for avoiding shell=True

My understanding is that the only time one needs to use shell=True is
when they are 'executing' a non-executable file whose executable must be
discovered via file association rules? Does that sound accurate?
