Add a -quoting switch to evaluate-commands and execute-keys commands

[alexherbo2]

Raw

evaluate-commands -quoting raw %sh{
  echo '"echo" "Tchou"'
}

Error

No such command: '"echo" "Tchou"'

Kakoune

evaluate-commands -quoting kakoune %sh{
  echo '"echo" %[Tchou]'
}

Shell

evaluate-commands -quoting shell %sh{
  printf '"echo" "Tchou"'
}

JSON

evaluate-commands -quoting json %sh{
  jq -n '["echo", "Tchou"]'
}

Your -quoting raw is evaluate-commands -verbatim and -quoting kakoune is the default.

The JSON one is interesting because it makes word boundaries very explicit.
I wonder what's the use case.

evaluate-commands -quoting shell %sh{
printf '"echo" "Tchou"'
}

Shell expansion seems out of scope for evaluate-commands (should it expand $() as well?).
It can be done in the sh block, although it's not very nice.

evaluate-commands %sh{
	kakquote() { printf "%s" "$*" | sed "s/'/''/g; 1s/^/'/; \$s/\$/'/"; }

	shell_quoted_command=$(printf '"echo" "Tchou"')

	eval set -- "$shell_quoted_command"
	for arg
	do
		kakquote "$arg"
		printf ' '
	done
}

Some programs easily output shell quoted arguments, I assume we should not re-evaluate the resulting string (your $(...) comment).
