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.

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.
