So it would be okay if shell-quote-argument breaks and thus makes major 
functionality in Emacs vulnerable, but your tiny function in its small 
package is safe and sound? That's a nice set of priorities.

Regarding responsibility, I repeat: contributing package to ELPA means 
that that the developers here share some of it.

And your function, speaking in security terms, adds to the attack 
surface, not subtracts from it.
