Parse arguments from single string. about args HOT 1 CLOSED

That's out of the scope of this library, unfortunately. If I were to write up an interface for properly splitting up such a formatted string into an array of arguments with string escaping and all, I'd be inclined to package that as a separate library, rather than packaging it in this one anyway.

You could write such a parser simply enough. If your needs are very simple (ie. no need for escapes of any sort, including escaped quotes inside of quoted strings), you could split on your wanted quote character, then split the even parts by whitespace to get your argument list. If your needs are more complex, you're probably better off with a real parser. A naive character-by-character parser would likely be sufficient.
