shell-quote-argument has *no job at all* without shell-command. Its
purpose is a helper function for building strings to pass to
shell-command. And I am becoming increasingly confused as to what the
purpose of shell-command is.

And anyway I obviously wasn't even talking about shell-quote-argument
anymore, I was talking about the idea of adding a "posix-shell-command"
function [which would naturally need a posix-shell-quote-argument], so
saying "it's irrelevant to shell-quote-argument" is unreasonable.
