Another possibility is to keep the current behavior and just document
it:
This function uses the variable `system-type' to see what kind of
quoting is to take place. You can bind that variable before
calling this function to effect a different kind of quoting. For
example, the following gives you Unix-style quoting even when
Emacs is running on Windows-like systems:
(let ((system-type 'not-windows)) (shell-quote-argument "..."))
