I believe you have done it, sir:

It is proof against glob or variable expansion, it swallows redirection, 
and it doesn't mind compound command lines, however it does expand 
bangchar, as wanted:

   $ test ls $PWD; test ls g* > /dev/null; test l ,H $PWD/test; test 'I
   wandered \n lonely as a cloud'; test "that \n floats on high"

   My unexpanded arguments were:  ls $PWD

   ...and my arguments broken to an array:

   two:   ls
   three: $PWD
   four:
   five:
   six:
   My unexpanded arguments were:  ls g* > /dev/null

   ...and my arguments broken to an array:

   two:   ls
   three: g*
   four:  >
   five:  /dev/null
   six:

   My unexpanded arguments were:  l ,H $PWD/test

   ...and my arguments broken to an array:

   two:   l
   three: ,H
   four:  $PWD/test
   five:
   six:

   My unexpanded arguments were:  'I wandered \n lonely as a cloud'

   ...and my arguments broken to an array:

   two:   'I
   three: wandered
   four:  \n
   five:  lonely
   six:   as

   My unexpanded arguments were:  "that \n floats on high"

   ...and my arguments broken to an array:

   two:   "that
   three: \n
   four:  floats
   five:  on
   six:   high"


... I think I can't even  quibble about the quoted strings not being 
treated as single arguments
because I can't have it both ways--the whole exercise is to have zero 
processing.

And I don't even need to rape the src.
