5   "CLASS->safe_quote ITEM"
6       Quotes an item to become safe against spaces in shell interpolation. An
7       item is enclosed in double quotes if:
8
9         - the item contains spaces in the middle
10         - the item does not start with a quote
11
12       This happens to avoid shell interpolation problems when whitespace is
13       present in directory names.
14
15       This method uses "commands_quote" to determine the correct quote. If
16       "commands_quote" is a space, no quoting will take place.
17
18       if it starts and ends with the same quote character: leave it as it is
19
20       if it contains no whitespace: leave it as it is
21
22       if it contains whitespace, then
23
24       if it contains quotes: better leave it as it is
25
26       else: quote it with the correct quote type for the box we're on
