I don't. We just disagree, that's all. I modified the doc string to add the missing information about the shells for which the function was designed. I don't think we should add anything else, for the reasons I pointed out already. > If for reasons unclear to me you absolutely refuse to accept these > improvements to shell-quote-argument's documentation, I will just > continue not using the function, because it cannot be trusted. How can documentation make a function more trustworthy? And what does that have to do with this bug report? This bug report is about the documentation of shell-quote-argument, not whether it is safe and should or should not be used. I think this bug should be closed now.
