split-string-and-unquote and combine-and-quote-strings are introduced
in ยง37.2 `Shell Arguments', which seems wrong.  The introductory text
is misleading:

   The following two functions are useful for creating shell commands
from individual argument strings, and taking shell command lines apart
into individual arguments.
