I just read through the whole thing and made a few comments. Please feel
free to ignore my "how about this on top" suggestions if you don't like
them, or just don't want to deal with them. Patches I didn't respond to
all looked good to me.

There are a few "iffy" conversions where we take unconstrained input and
there's no "usual" quoting mechanism available (you mentioned the one in
"grep", and I pointed out a few more). I hate to break
backwards-compatibility in any way, but I think in all of those cases
that we are much more likely to be helping the user than hurting them.

So I think it's a net benefit in all of the cases.
