Well, the description is about as clear as mud, because it's not saying
which two quote characters it's talking about. I read it as talking
about the two quote characters around any one word/pathname. If you
think it's talking about the two quote characters we put around the
whole command (the SYSTEMQUOTE dodge), then we're certainly going to
fail the "no special characters" test, because all these commands use
I/O redirection symbols.
