opam sometimes prints out command lines that it execute. However the printing function does not print the command line correctly. In particular if a space is included it cannot be recognized from other similar commands.
For example
echo a bandecho 'a b'would be printed the same even though they are different commands.This draft PR quotes arguments/commands if any special characters is encountered.
The syntax chosen is the sh/bash syntax on Unix and the cmd/powershell syntax on Windows.
