Mostly, yes. I'm still not clear on quoting. Does TryExec need to
follow the same rules with regard to double quotes, backslashes, etc.?
Double-quotes seem kinda pointless since TryExec is supposed to just be
a file name, so there'd be no reason to quote anything, right? Would
any other forms of escaping be needed or necessary?
