Spaces in Powershell alias

[mottosso]

This should but doesn't work.

alias("maya", r"c:\program files\autodesk\maya2018\bin\maya.exe")

Hmm, no doesn't work with exe + arguments, like.

alias("mytext", "notepad c:\path to\some_document.txt")

The "solution" is to escape the paths you hand to your alias().

alias("maya", r"c:\program` files\autodesk\maya2018\bin\maya.exe")

Note the backtick character after c:\program. As this would only work on PowerShell aliases, there should probably be a dedicated function for escaping paths made available to a package.py.

E.g.

fname = escape_path(r"c:\program` files\autodesk\maya2018\bin\maya.exe")
alias("maya", fname + " -noAutoLoadPlugins")

Something separate from the subsequent arguments included in the alias itself.
