Description

Documentation URL: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/be/make-variables.html

It looks like Bazel shell-quotes filenames in at least some of the variables and functions (e.g. location). It would be great if this could be documented here.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the Bazel documentation for make variables and add details about shell quoting of filenames in the location function and similar variables.
