Summary: shlex.split() does not tokenize like the shell

Initial Comment:
When shlex.split defines tokens, it doesn't properly
interpret ';', '&', and '&&'.  These should always be
place in a separate token (unless inside a string).

The shell treats the following as identical cases, but
shlex.split doesn't:

echo hi&&echo bye
echo hi && echo bye

echo hi;echo bye
echo hi ; echo bye

echo hi&echo bye
echo hi & echo bye

shlex.split makes these cases ambiguous:

echo 'foo&'
echo foo&

echo '&&exit'
echo &&exit
