let r;
r = require("yargs")().command("echo [pos]").parse(`echo "a b" --opt "a b"`);
console.log(r.opt); // 'a b'
console.log(r.pos); // '"a b"'

// behavior originates here, where it makes more sense
r = require("yargs-parser")(`echo "a b" --opt "a b"`);
console.log(r); // { _: [ 'echo', '"a b"' ], opt: 'a b' }

Related to yargs/yargs-parser#180.

Specifically seems weird to me that whether an option is positional or not changes the quote stripping behavior.

Seems like there may be a bunch of history here so feel free to just close if this has already been talked to death: yargs/yargs-parser#300

There are a lot of related issues, but this issue highlights a particular inconsistency I didn't see elsewhere.
