What command did you try to run?

The example I had in mind was when these characters are not used for
redirection, but are actually part of one of the command-line
arguments, and need to wind up verbatim in the subprocess.  On Posix
platforms, execve will do that automatically, since it doesn't go
through a shell or any similar facilities for which these characters
are special.
