I understand `call-process' and `start-process' as lower level command
invocation that circumvents the shell.
I cannot know how it works for real, there is just idea that shell is
the one interpreting spaces and cutting them out, and not the programm
or command itself; while `call-process' sends full arguments without
shell interpreting and cutting out spaces.
