##
# == Manipulates strings like the UNIX Bourne shell
#
# This module manipulates strings according to the word parsing rules
# of the UNIX Bourne shell.
#
# The shellwords() function was originally a port of shellwords.pl,
# but modified to conform to POSIX / SUSv3 (IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 [1]).
#
# === Usage
#
# You can use shellwords to parse a string into a Bourne shell friendly Array.
#
# require 'shellwords'
#
# argv = Shellwords.split('three blind "mice"')
# argv #=> ["three", "blind", "mice"]
#
# Once you've required Shellwords, you can use the #split alias
# String#shellsplit.
#
# argv = "see how they run".shellsplit
# argv #=> ["see", "how", "they", "run"]
#
# Be careful you don't leave a quote unmatched.
#
# argv = "they all ran after the farmer's wife".shellsplit
# #=> ArgumentError: Unmatched double quote: ...
#
# In this case, you might want to use Shellwords.escape, or it's alias
# String#shellescape.
#
# This method will escape the String for you to safely use with a Bourne shell.
#
# argv = Shellwords.escape("special's.txt")
# argv #=> "special\\s.txt"
# system("cat " + argv)
#
# Shellwords also comes with a core extension for Array, Array#shelljoin.
#
# argv = %w{ls -lta lib}
# system(argv.shelljoin)
#
# You can use this method to create an escaped string out of an array of tokens
# separated by a space. In this example we'll use the literal shortcut for
# Array.new.
