Its purpose is a helper function for building strings to pass to shell-command. And I am becoming increasingly confused as to what the purpose of shell-command is. And anyway I obviously wasn't even talking about shell-quote-argument anymore, I was talking about the idea of adding a "posix-shell-command" function [which would naturally need a posix-shell-quote-argument], so saying "it's irrelevant to shell-quote-argument" is unreasonable.
