Explore ways to specify arguments with spaces into command parser

What part of Adonis is this related to?

Command

What are you suggesting?

As I was writing #1876, I noticed that if an argument has spaces, it becomes problematic relatively fast. Imagine if a team name is like this: The Team. If you tried passing that into the command parser, both "The" and "Team" would be treated as separate arguments.

As an alternative approach, it might be best to provide instead an option to wrap the argument in quotes to specify that it's one argument. Example: :team Guest "The Team".

This is actually done for the last argument in the command. For other arguments this is impossible to do without quotes because there is no way to determine if the player wanted to use another argument or have a space

The other way I was thinking it could be done is if a quote is really needed, the quote can be escaped with a backslash. However, I acknowledge that this might be a bit too complicated, considering the average player that uses Adonis is someone that doesn't have much technical prowess.

I just realized we were thinking of different things; that's my bad. What I was talking about, just to clarify, is adding a way to escape the quote if your intention was to put a quote and not an extra space, for whatever reason. So if you intended to put:

:test "Hi"

Where Arg[1] is "Hi", you would do:

:test \"Hi\"

I remember trying to fix this issue but it caused more problems because of adonis's lovely way of handling arguments
Theres no way of doing this unless argument handling is rewritten (which I DOUBT anyone will do because of what I said earlier)

Another problem I noticed is when using a % for specific commands, as per string logic, makes adonis thinks it's trying to replace something in the text. So you could imagine how rewriting argument handling would be a immense task to do.
