If I understand correctly, the whole point of Oil is to make a shell in which this kind of code is perfectly correct and robust.



Yes exactly, see my sibling response. This is a perfect use case for the "xargs $0 dispatch" pattern I mentioned, and maybe I will use it in that blog post.

Your example does have some quoting problems which is understandable / common, but in Oil the obvious way should be the right way. That's not true in shell!
