Is there a way to get auto-quoting inside braces in arguments?
For instance,

  echo {a b}

would give 2 words "echo" and "{a b}" (which is different from what
a POSIX shell would give, but the behavior is already different
anyway, as one gets a parse error otherwise). Obviously this rule
should be applied only for arguments.

Alternatively, one could have a feature like url-quote-magic.
