Instead of inventing great and wonderfully complicated schemes, the
most sensible way I can think of is to recycle a feature which is now
implemented in the GNU toolchain, and apparently stems from Windows:
qemu @qemu.cfg
where qemu.cfg is a file which contains the command line arguments.
(This is also low-maintenance, as it allows to re-use the existing
parser. No need for duplicated logic.)

Which tends to collect all the complexity in a single piece.
That seems to be the common problem of the option discussed here.

Requiring "proper tools" doesn't leave much of a point for plain text.
