It reminds me of my issue just past of trying to send exactly:

'one string' 'second string'

to grep.  Given the deep desire of shells to strip and interpret quotes 
there's not
much that can be done via syntax, but some prefix or some option should 
make it
doable such that you don't lose one level of quotes at each interpretation.
Mind, I'm presuming Vincent needs those quotes further down stream to
protect something.  Anyway, some prefix or option should make it possible
to do whatever might be required.  setopt LITERAL_STRING.  Dunno, but most
of my problems with zsh involve quoting.
