Istvan Toth commented on CLI-254:
---------------------------------
The shell will already process and remove the quotes in your example, so the
program never sees them.
The library currently strips the quotes even if you jump through hoops to
preserve them, i.e.
--file '"a/path to/file with spaces.txt"'
I agree on not complicating the constructor.
I'm going to refactor the PR to add a ParserBuilder, hopefully soon.
> "test" gets parsed as test, quotes die :-(
