API discussion: Quoting of arguments: why is it enabled by default?

Hi,

I am wondering why the quoting of arguments (if they contain spaces) is enabled
by default.

This is certainly not the behaviour I was expecting while using the API, as
passing a filename as an argument will just fail if it is surrounded with
quotes.

regards,

Can you change your subject to start with [XYZ] and replace XYZ with  
the Commons project your question pertains to?

Thanks,
Ralph
