Why would they accept a backslash? Backslash is a path separator on Windows. In most Windows programs, you don't even need to escape the space - arguments can contain spaces and it will understand it, like `notepad My file.txt`

The escape character on PowerShell is backtick, and on cmd it is caret. You don't need to quote everything.
