I did. There are two R-devel examples, one with spaces (buggy) and one
without spaces (works).
To show that spaces are the problem.

It seems so.

It does not, single quotes are not special characters for windows, so
you'll get a different error. In
R -q -e '1 + 1'
there are three arguments after the -e: '1 and + and 1'

It seems so indeed.
