Wait, how did glib enter the picture? :)  The implementation of
shell-style quoting in [1] is not very complicated; perhaps it could
complement git's existing parsers for shell-style single-quoted
expressions and C-style double-quoted expressions in quote.c.

Of course, a more basic question is whether we want to allow passing
arbitrary command-line arguments through the insn sheet at all (a
part of me wishes "no", at least at first).

Could you give an example to illustrate what this functionality would
be used for?  I can understand wanting to pass "-s" and "-X" flags to
a merge insn and "-X" to pick, but that's as far as my imagination
goes.
