I'm not sure about this last sentence; isn't that what test_set_editor
is doing, which was already there? I think the real rationale is
readability: since $SHELL_PATH is handled for us, you can turn off
interpolation in the here-doc containing the helper script. That avoids
an extra layer of quoting.
