Escaping and passing strings as arguments (without losing e.g. " characters) is often a problem. It would be so nice if this would be solved in a shell the way it works for function calls in propper programming languages like Python or Rust (i.e. various ways to specify strings with special characters and a good format method for string composition) with Haskell-like function call syntax. |

To fix all those things you wouldn't end up with a traditional Unix shell, which I think would be a great project, but there are clearly two mutually exclusive projects to do:
1. A Unix-like shell (this)
2. A robust shell suitable for writing scripts
