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)
I think Doug really meant:
-- [ don't try this at home ]
quoted form of "somepieceofpath" & "someotherpiece"
because this will return a string definitely unusable as a path.
