Generally speaking it's better to fix a limitation than to document it, i= f=20 fixing it is easy (as is the case here). On POSIX shells, shell-quote-argument is just as safe as shqq--quote-stri= ng, and=20 on non-POSIX shells it works better. So it's a win, in both readability a= nd in=20 portability, to use shell-quote-argument.
