I've added code do explicitly do this, but I don't any longer recall why (this was originally developed back in like May or April, it's just been sitting on the shelf waiting for me to get to the finish line). I do recall that I ran into problems when I treated the executable name as any other argument though, so *something* special needs to be done about it.

I'll try to go back in time and check my notes, command line histories and old commits to see if I can figure out what kind of issue I ran into. Otherwise the correct solution seem to be to quote the program name the same way.

No worries, that blog post is essential reading for anyone working with command line args on Windows, and it is a good thing that you try to spread knowledge about it.
