And here are some quirky cases:

Command Line	Behavior
`echo hello & world`	Echoes "hello" and executes "world": `hello` `'"world"' is not recognized`...
`"echo hello & world"`	Executes "echo hello & world": `'"echo hello & world"' is not recognized`...
`"echo hello" & world`	Executes "echo hello" and "world": `'"echo hello"' is not recognized`... `'"world"' is not recognized`...
`cmd /c "echo hello" & world`	Echoes "hello" and executes "`world.exe`": `hello` `'"world"' is not recognized`...
`cmd /c "echo hello & world"`	Echoes "hello" and executes "`world.exe`": `hello` `'"world"' is not recognized`...

This is because CMD has a bunch of special case rules for whether to strip a pair of quotes after /c, /k, and /r. Depending on how many quotes exist and what's between the quotes, CMD may or may not strip the first and last quotes.

That makes it quite difficult to accurately parse an input line that contains cmd followed by /cor/kor/r` (or an alias that expands to that). I intend to try...

Change color for cmd command? #613
