Quoting values in CLI not possible

[AndreasVolkmann]

When passing an argument via CLI that contains whitespace, it would be good if quoting was supported.

data class Configuration(
    val notesFileName: String
)

--notes-file-name "My Clippings.txt"

@jeggy How would you expect this to work?

Test case:

@Test fun `quote value`() {
    val expected = "expected is this"
    val configuration = Nullable().parse("-s", "\"$expected\"")
    expectThat(configuration).get { str } isEqualTo expected
}

Output:

is equal to "expected is this"
      found ""expected is this""

I would expect it to look at the first character and if that first character is " or ', then it would read anything in between those.

• hello world -> hello
• "hello world" -> hello world
• D'vloper -> D'vloper
• 'Martin D\'vloper' -> Martin D'vloper
• "Martin D'vloper" -> Martin D'vloper

@jeggy Actually this looks like a regression.
I can see we have code that aims to support this.
