Summary

0000811: Bugs in command line escaping with lash

Description

Two related issues:
1. Some characters are escaped inside "" or '', but normally everything inside those should be passed as is to the command.
Example:
echo "Test []*\1"
expected output:
Test []*\1
lash's output:
Test \[\]\*
(and at the end some strange character which refuses to be copy'n'pasted here properly. I suspect the 1 was tranlated to char 0x01)

2. lash escapes [] on tab completion, but passes the inserted \ to the command
Example:
let's assume we have a file named 'Test [a].txt'
Using tab completeion we get (in any shell, including lash):
echo Test\ \[a\].txt
Expected output:
Test [a].txt
lash's output:
Test \[a\].txt
So either [] should not be escaped by lash or it should require and remove the backslashes.

Was checked with version 1.1.1
