You'll have to write something like:
cp file $(escape $VARIABLE)
anyways and still I dunno if that would work. Or you'll have to create
houndreads of functions like:
cp_FOO () { cp -- "$1" "$FOO"; }
mv_FOO () { mv -- "$1" "$FOO"; }
cp_BAR () { cp -- "$1" "$BAR"; }
mv_BAR () { mv -- "$1" "$BAR"; }
something_baz () { something -- "$1" "$BAZ"; }
I don't think it's worth it.
