escapeShellCommand, escapeWindowsArgument, escapeShellFileName - in which way differ and why it's not one function?
Because they do different things. The escaping rules are different.
See the example on escapeShellCommand for how to use them.
Why escapeWindowsArgument exists without posix counterpart?
escapeWindowsArgument is needed for building e.g. DMD response files on any platform. escapePosixArgument exists, but it is private/undocumented. It could be made public if someone requests it.
Note that these functions aren't new - I've written them for the old std.process a while ago.
