I think it's strange that it does that with editline, but not
readline. Isn't editline supposed to be compatible with readline?

Maybe the multiword commands (e.g. the -v options) should be handled
in some other way? Or is that too much work?

I'd prefer to not support any escaping, at least until we really need
it (I currently don't see why we would).
