I think it would be a nicer interface if it were split into two
functions: one which which would just parse the arguments and return a
lisp list of them (e.g. `shell-split') and one which would call
shell-split and do the choose-N-through-M-and-apply-mapconcat stuff to
return a string (e.g., `shell-arguments-string').
E.g.:
(shell-split "this is \"a test\"") => ("this" "is" "a test")
(shell-arguments-string "this is \"a test\"" 1 2) => "is \"a test\""
Simple uses might use the latter but the former seems a generally
cleaner interface and building block for other uses.
