Carets introduce a difficult situation since they are essentially “lossy” when parsed. Consider this in cmd.exe:
The two commands produce different results, but are both parsed by the shell as
foo^bar
, and there's essentially no sensible way to tell what was actually passed in. This implementation assumes the quoted variation (the first) since it is easier to implement, and arguably the more common case.Fix #3307.
