These are needed in bash to expand the array $@
correctly, where quotes spaces are not used to break.
For instance, if you pass --a="b c",
"$@" will correctly consider --a="b c" as an argument,
while $@ will split it as --a=b and c, incorrectly.
This was e.g. required in my usecase, because I need to specify
--authgroup='XXX YYY' where the string XXX YYY is decided
by the server and contains spaces.
