It doesn't show in the debug output, but the actual completion will add the closing quotes, i.e. the first result would end up as "view"

@aryairani I looked into preventing numbered arg expansion when quoted, I'd like to do it but it adds a bit more complexity so I think we should merge this one then I can add that in a new PR. EDIT: here |

Overview
Allows passing quoted args to ucm commands.
Motivated by the desire to use this for
config.set-authorandannotatefixes #5417
quote-args.mp4
Implementation notes
Interesting/controversial decisions
There is a
completeQuotedWordin Haskeline, but it doesn't provide the line prefix (which we need for determining the command).Plus, writing our own parser means we can be consistent between the line parser and the completion parser.
Test coverage
Added a transcript for completion and a simple unison prog which demos quoted args to
run.Loose ends
runhahaI'm sure we'll find some more tweaks for this in the future, but shouldn't be hard to add those as they come up.
