@b4n, since we don't get (any/many) complaints about that problem in all the other places it exists why not allow it here. And we can only be smart enough about quoting to be stupid, we don't know what the substitution is being used for, the `%f` need not be a separate standalone argument, and win and lin quote different.
Leave it up to the user to quote it in the command they substitute into.
