Useful if you can not be sure if there are special characters in
the command or arguments, like `start-process' allows."
  (let ((compile-command (mapconcat #'shell-quote-argument
                                    (cons command args)
                                    " ")))
    (compile compile-command)))

(compile-quoted "write" "d:/asdf.txt")

(compile-quoted "write.test" "d:/asdf.txt")
