cmdproxy is IMO the _only_ level where this should be done

I think it is wrong to do this in cmdproxy, as cmdproxy has no knowledge about what is a filename, and what is a literal string that must be passed to the command untouched. The right place to do this is when completing file names, since we know then that we are dealing with a file name. We should never change what the user has manually typed.
