[issue1521950] shlex.split() does not tokenize like the shell

Thanks for the report. Would you like to work on a patch, or translate your examples into unit tests?

The docs do not mention “&” at all, and platform discrepancies have to be taken into account too, so I really don’t know if this is a bug fix for the normal mode, the POSIX mode, or a feature request requiring a new argument to the shlex function to preserve compatibility.
