# In order to pass '"' characters so they are actually part of command line
# arguments for native commands, they need to be escaped with a '\' (this
# is in addition to the '`' escaping needed inside '"' quoted strings in
# PowerShell).

# This functionality was broken in PowerShell 5.0 and 5.1, so this test
# will fail on those versions unless the fix is backported to them.

# This test checks that the proper quoting and escaping is occurring by
# passing arguments with escaped quotes to the testexe native command and
# looking at how it got the arguments.
