It is a cute hack, but does anyone really want to use this?
Maybe on w32, but I prefer using emacsclient for this.
emacsclient does not help here. And the below assumes that you can
flip backslashes without changing their meaning. Not likely to be
true for regexps or similar. Getting them and other strings and
special characters unmolested into Emacs using portable shell scripts
is actually a royal nuisance without using command-line-args-left.
