Beshidesh shounding like you’ve had too mush to drink, there is a
fundamental problem with using a programming language as a shell/command
language: a command language assumes everything is a literal string unless
indicated otherwise, whereas a programming language (by which I include
some “scripting” languages) assumes everything is a language construct
unless quote characters indicate literal strings.

You quickly find out why command languages are designed that way, when you
try to use a programming language in their place.
