Description

Documentation URL: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/be/make-variables.html

It looks like Bazel shell-quotes filenames in at least some of the variables and functions (e.g. `location`). It would be great if this could be documented here.

Research direction

Open the documentation URL and review the Make variables and functions, starting with `location`, against the reported shell quoting behavior. Done means the relevant variables or functions clearly document when filenames are shell-quoted and the scope of that behavior.
