+
+    Some core util distributions (MSys) don't tokenize command line arguments
+    the same way that MSVC CRT does. Lit rolls its own quoting logic similar to
+    the stock CPython logic to paper over these quoting and tokenization rule
+    differences.
+
+    We use the same algorithm from MSDN as CPython
+    (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/17w5ykft.aspx), but we treat more
+    characters as needing quoting, such as double quotes themselves.
