I have the nagging feeling that there might be problems with this.
Are there encodings that use ESC as a special character?  I think so.

Now, suppose you have a string x which is a filename.  Then you
encode that string into the corresponding filename encoding, which
just happens to be an encoding which uses ESC.  And then you pass the
whole shebang to shell-quote-argument which will then happily escape
the ESC for you.

I'm not sure that this is the desired result.
