Are there any cases where "quoted form of", when using a POSIX path *as* a

I have been booby trapped by a misguided attempt to apply
quoted_form_of to two paths at once. An example would be something
like.
do_shell_script quoted_form_of (/usr/bin/diff & path1 & path2)
Don't do that.
I believe one can also get into trouble using quoted_form_of a path
to a real shell tool but it surely is unnecessary.
/usr/bin/perl
works as is but does require the full path because $PATH doesn't get
set without starting a shell.
quoted_form_of (/usr/bin/perl -w) might not work.
