I just noticed a small bit of breakage with this. It's no longer possible to refer to Lisp functions in Eshell like so:

  #'upcase

Eshell explicitly supports this construct (see `eshell-lisp-regexp'), though it doesn't appear to be documented in the manual. Currently, this syntax is only occasionally useful, but I'm working on a patch series where it'll likely become a lot more common. My patches will add support for piping to Lisp functions, so that you can do the following, for example:

  $ echo hi | #'upcase
  HI

It looks like the breakage in parsing #'upcase is the result of `eshell-parse-external-pipeline' trying to skip over args like '*|' (with the quotes). However, it sees the single-quote in #'upcase and then calls `eshell-parse-literal-quote', resulting in the error message:

  Expecting completion of delimiter ' ...
