Quoting is tricky business, and it's easy to mess it up. But details
matter, and in most cases the problem is not that shell-quote-argument
doesn't work right, but that it's not called on the right data, or it's
not called at all, or the result is then later massaged incorrectly,
etc...
Once you have a concrete problem case, file a bug report.
