I think the last time something changed here was with patch 7.0.214,
that's quite a long time ago. It was done because the handling of
escaped white space was wrong.
I understand that you don't want to escape white space at all, thus
"a\ b" would be split in "a\" and "b". Why not use <q-args> and do the
splitting at white space in the invoked function?
