Your first use of the word 'instance' in your answer is very probably
intended to have the sense 4 in this definition:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/instance. However, I can't
understand what the second "instance" means. Especially due to the
presence of the word "existing" prior to it. Is it instance as in OOP
instance? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instance_%28computer_science%29
If not, please explain yourself, as the end of your answer is rather
unclear. Thanks.

I'm not talking about that specific instance, but in general. The shell
quoting does not handle existing instances inside single quotes
properly, etc.
I'd just rather be avoiding the shell entirely.
