I think this might not be true, depending on what "a Bourne shell" means
to some users. On many systems, /bin/sh is a symlink to whichever shell
floats the vendor's goat.
For example, on the Mint distribution of GNU/Linux, it's a symlink to
dash. While dash is a variant of a variant of the Bourne shell, can we
say with reasonable certainty that those variations don't impact
shell-quote-argument? (I don't know what they are myself, just posing
the question.)
