It's confusing that the django.utils.text.smart_split() function un-
escapes quotes and backslashes inside the literal string while
preserving the surrounding quotes:

    >>> print '  '.join(smart_split(ur'arg1 "the \"second\" argument"
"the \\third\\ argument"'))
    arg1  "the "second" argument"  "the \third\ argument"

I would find it simpler to just have either
1) escaped and quoted literal strings, or
2) un-escaped and un-quoted strings.

This would also make it simpler to unify the handling of variables and
filter expressions in django/template/__init__.py.
