Considering there is no cross-platform compatibility here anyway, I don’t think it’s that bad an option to let users do their own escaping, especially since those who are successfully using this feature already do.
I don't really think we should give up on cross-platform compatibility that easily. There are a number of constructs supported with the same syntax by both cmd and unix shells (pipes and redirection, mainly) that people may want to use.
