Leave bad enough alone imho.
Every macro templating language in the world has quoting problems: its the
nature of the beast.
And a Principle of Least Surprise "Do what bash does!" sets expectations that
are wildly out of line with reality.
FWIW, the only place that macros MUST be used (instead of bash/lua/etc) is in
the preamble and in %files. Use whatever language you wish to program in, and
use macros for tempting, not programming.
RPM macros are a gawd awful way to attempt to solve programming issues ...
