Right, but I personally want to have full control over this kind of
things.  And just imagine it was actually a shell function: you'd have
to specify the quotes anyway.

Imagine you want to pass a '-fixed string.  Imagine you want to pass a
``-thing (yeah, I know, bad example since these guys don't nest well).

All the macros should have the same behavior, and I prefer the one
where quotes are needed.
