It is indeed. It's also wrong, but so is the original code. It should
instead check for "\"" only as the first character of an argument, or
inside an argument not starting with ', since that's the only place
where it matters. On that note, I can't recall exactly why I decided
(if it indeed was me) not to support double-quotes in commands.
