--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
This is a known limitation of the SSH protocol, and the rcp protocol
before that - dating back 30 years. It's simply too late to change it.

A better approach might be to define a protocol extension that allows
explicit argument passing, rather than just a single string command. We
don't have any plans to do this; the workaround of adding quoting to
the remote command is well-understood and easy to implement.
