I love replying to myself.

There's actually a problem with quote-args as I presented it:
specifying no arguments would result in one quoted argument, which
will seriously break lots of commands.  Here's a better version:

quote-args
----------
#! /bin/sh

if [ $# != 0 ]; then
        echo -n "`echo "$1" | quote-sh`"
        shift
        for A in "$@"; do
                echo -n " `echo "$A" | quote-sh`"
        done
fi
echo
