The idea is that the sort of thing get reimplemented incorrectly a lot,
and since we have the extra @file feature and the Unix glob it would be
nice to allow other people to use it. Win32 has CommandLineToArgvW, so I
figured it wouldn't be too strange to have.
The escaping function is there mostly for symmetry and convenience,
since it's basically the standard escape.
