For the sed/eval round we can always escape the special characters beforehand, there should be some function for that.

But I agree with your conclusion. Warning or message is a good enough solution, even though I would like to see some hand-holding. I agree it just isn't worth the effort and the only "nice" way (I can think) of doing this is to extend dash with such functionality.
