Your proposal breaks Windows in a catastrophic way. It's almost certain
that all existing front-ends/scripts will stop working after such a change.

Or you have to quote differently on Windows which means you throw
consistency out the Window.

I certainly like consistency but I don't see a viable proposal that
offers that.
