## shell.array_literal
shell.array_literal(iterable)
Creates a string from a sequence that can be used as a shell array.
For example, `shell.array_literal(["a", "b", "c"])` would return the string
`("a" "b" "c")`, which can be used in a shell script wherever an array
literal is needed.
Note that all elements in the array are quoted (using `shell.quote`) for
safety, even if they do not need to be.
