Hello Python Docs,

I am no expert of python, but i do know linux quite a bit, and I was
astonished to see that you show as example a rm -rf ~ , i will suggest to
perhaps find a better example as this could be terrible for someone who
does not know linux either.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/shlex.html
look in the quote example.

Thank you,
Carlo
