Instead of this (IMHO doomed) escape approach, maybe the filename
parameter could be specified as the next argument, for example:
-hda format=qcow2,blah,blah,filename_is_next_arg -hda "filename with
funky characters like ',' ':' & '!'"
-drive name=hda,if=ide,cache=off -hda foo.img
-drive name=vda,if=virtio,cache=writeback -vda foo.img
-drive name=sdb,if=scsi,unit=1 -sdb boo.img

So the names would need to be out of some reserved namespace like hdX,
sdX and vdX only? Or can I choose freely and call my disks "net" and
"vnc" and have them conflict with the respective existing options?

Yup, bad suggestion on my part.  See my next suggestion.

Also, when discussing the syntax, don't forget that there also is
-usbdevice disk: which would need to be changed in some way, too.
