I'd suggest getting rid of qs altogether but I doubt people would be
happy with that. Instead, all procedures should accept argument lists
only, so nothing needs to go through the shell but only exec(vp/ve/..).
I think every shell has different special characters and rules.
It's generally just a big mess you should avoid if at all possible.

Cheers,
