I use this "feature" quite often in almost all my Rev apps. On Windows, when
applications install themselves they update the registry saying how to use
various types of file extensions. For example:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.mov\shell\open\command
"c:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe" "%1"
I use word 1 of that registry value to get the path to the executable in a
way that can also be passed off to the shell function and "just works".
However, some applications don't actually need the quotes (e.g.
c:\rebol\rebol.exe) and therefore don't add them. And it's quite nice that
parsing the first "word" still works there, too.
That's a convincing example. Plus, backward compatibility would be shot
if it were changed.
