Re: Very unclear
rm "Important File.ows" "shellscript.sh" "My \"Expenses\".ods" "-rf"
When writing C (or C++) program parsing parameters like the above, you will find that the last parameter "-rf" was passed by shell to your program without surrounding quotes. Thus this gained nothing :(
Of course you might be advocating that quotes surrounding parameters should be passed to program (also when put explicitly by the user) but I'm not certain that this is good idea. For one, how do you pass a filename starting with quotes to your program and make it understand that these quotes are part of the filename, not a decoration?
It is up to program to decide what is filename and what is option.
