Description

It would be nice if groovysh command arguments would support strings with spaces in them. Right now the argument is only parsed until the first space is encountered, even when quoted:

groovy:000> :load "hello world/asdf.groovy"
File not found: "hello
groovy:000> :load 'hello world/asdf.groovy'
File not found: 'hello
groovy:000> :load hello world/asdf.groovy
File not found: hello
