Whitespace in comments gets mangled and sometimes deleted

[haltman-at]

If I do parse("#abc def ghi"), instead of [{ comment: "abc def ghi" }], the result is [{ comment: "abcdef ghi" }].

(Tested with shell-quote version 1.8.0.)

This seems pretty expected on a shell - multiple space separators get collapsed into one, i think? or are you saying because it's a comment you expect them to be preserved?

Yeah, I would expect the comment field to contain the exact text of the comment. Like there shouldn't be any parsing being applied to the text of a comment!
