I found qs very helpful.

csc does this double-wrapping, as does setup-api (see "$system" - for
some unknown reason the god of consistency has made sure these
functions do actually roughly the same thing). I darkly recall that
'...' was not sufficient for quoting everything but apparently that
was wrong. Weird.
One question, though: how can I escape the tick (#\') itself? My
attempts at the bash prompt using various combinations of ' and \
don't seem to work. Actually, the more I try, the more I realize that
the situation with bash isn't much better than it with with Windows
...
cheers,
