The shlex.quote and pipes.quote functions do not quote shell keywords.

Example shell keywords: done, time, coproc, while

Presumably the intent of the quote functions is to prevent the resulting string from altering the syntax of the script it is inserted into, which is why I think these need to be quoted.

We can't possibly know every shell keyword, so the only sensible thing to do here is to quote everything.
