Ok.
What interface should the simulators and other non-native targets
present on non-Unix platforms? I'm asking this hypothetically, since
I don't actually plan to make any changes in this area.
I think the only answer can be that they should present a native
quoting style. (Any other answer would run afoul of my comments in
previous messages.)
With this approach it sounds like the argument dequoting must be
strictly host-based. Now it makes sense, thanks.
