  ## * A string surrounded by double quotation marks ("string") is interpreted

  ##   quoted string can be embedded in an argument.
  ## * A double quotation mark preceded by a backslash (\") is interpreted as a
  ##   literal double quotation mark character (").
  ## * Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they immediately precede
  ##   a double quotation mark.
  ## * If an even number of backslashes is followed by a double quotation mark,
  ##   one backslash is placed in the argv array for every pair of backslashes,
  ##   and the double quotation mark is interpreted as a string delimiter.
  ## * If an odd number of backslashes is followed by a double quotation mark,
  ##   one backslash is placed in the argv array for every pair of backslashes,
  ##   and the double quotation mark is "escaped" by the remaining backslash,
  ##   causing a literal double quotation mark (") to be placed in argv.
