A string such as "hello '' world" would parse into ["hello", undefined, "world"].
This would add a catch for that, ensuring that an empty string is pushed
instead, and adds associated tests.

// split on spaces unless we're in quotes.
if (c === ' ' && !opening) {
if (!(prevC === ' ')) {

👋 for this fix, I think it would make sense to move the logic down to the check for the closing quote. So something like:

    if (c === opening) {
      if (!args[i]) args[i] = ''
      opening = null
      continue
  }

I see how that would make sense - placing it at the point of detecting the closing quotes. Both ways pass the tests, so I'll commit the change.

The reason I put it where I did was to ensure that we can't possibly increment i before we've checked for a missing argument.

@jacksdrobinson thank you for the contribution, left a comment.

This issue concerns when arguments are undefined due to empty quoted
strings. Therefore, it makes sense to place the check for an undefined
argument into the block which detects the closing quotes.
