#CLASS->safe_quote ITEM
Quotes an item to become safe against spaces in shell interpolation. An item is enclosed in double quotes if:
- the item contains spaces in the middle
- the item does not start with a quoteThis happens to avoid shell interpolation problems when whitespace is present in directory names.
This method uses commands_quote to determine the correct quote. If commands_quote is a space, no quoting will take place.
if it starts and ends with the same quote character: leave it as it is
if it contains no whitespace: leave it as it is
if it contains whitespace, then
if it contains quotes: better leave it as it is
else: quote it with the correct quote type for the box we're on
