I note that there are a couple of open issues that seem reasonably
serious for a package that appears to be intended for sanitising user
input before passing it on to the shell:

  https://github.com/substack/node-shell-quote/issues/31
  https://github.com/substack/node-shell-quote/issues/19

Meanwhile, the project is looking a bit dead, with no commits in the
last year.

Those bugs, if still present in the code, should be opened against the
package in our BTS, with #31 being RC IMO.

Cheers, Phil.
