meaning to jq are also shell meta-characters. For example, `jq
"foo"` will fail on most Unix shells because that will be the same
as `jq foo`, which will generally fail because `foo is not defined`.

of the `-f program-file` option), but then double-quotes in the jq
program need backslash escaping.
