I think it's pretty damn broken myself -- but yes, such is the case. (I'm
almost pondering switching from shell to pyarch as my default mechanism
for writing toolage, as it should be trivial to modify (if not already
done) to properly to unescaping at that layer without losing data (whereas
with shell, the Easy Way Out [use of --unescaped] fails if someone is evil
enough to have filenames with carriage returns).
