I am getting a "replace-regexp-in-string: Invalid use of ‘\’ in replacement text"
error using 'shell-quote-argument' on this case.
It seems that 'shell-quoted-argument' is adding double '\', that is,
'\\', in front of the spaces instead of surrounding the argument with quotes.
And 'replace-match' which is called by 'replace-regexp-in-string' for the parameter
substitution ("%i", "%o") in the function 'dired-do-compress-to' doesn't like it.
