100+

101+
*
102+
* - no /S switch
103+
* - exactly two quote characters
104+
* - no special characters between the two quote characters, where special
105+
* is one of: &<>()@^|
106+
* - there are one or more whitespace characters between the the two quote

108+
* - the string between the two quote characters is the name of an

* 2. Otherwise, old behavior is to see if the first character is a quote

* quote character on the command line, preserving any text after the last
114+
