I assume this is a problem of name-spaces. While `shell-quote-argument'
lives in subr.el, where the prefix denotes "functionality related to
shells", its would-be companion function `shell-unquote-argument' is
defined in shell.el and is not supposed to be used outside that
libraries scope (i.e. a *shell* buffer), as is e.g. shell-resync-dirs.
