R devel - Dec 2017 - command line arguments are parsed differently on windows, from 3.4.3

One comment:
For your R devel example you didn't use spaces in the expression, i.e.
maybe that's broken too with spaces?

Three questions:
Does it work if you avoid spaces?

Does it work if you use single quotes?

Does this also occur for Rscript?

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.

Sorry for not reading carefully and thanks for confirming problem with
Rscript too.
