Description
### Describe the bug
When running a tool via `dnx` (via pwsh) that requires an argument containing an ampersand, the argument is incorrectly split on the & and the text following it is passed to `cmd` instead.
### To Reproduce
# This works fine
`dnx dotnetsay works`
# This fails
`dnx dotnetsay "bro&ken"`
# As does this
`dnx dotnetsay 'bro&ken'`
# Calling dotnet tool exec instead is fine
`dotnet tool exec dotnetsay 'bro&ken'`
# Using `--%` is also ok
`dnx dotnetsay --% "bro&ken"`
### Exceptions (if any)
The output from one of the broken commands:
```
> dnx dotnetsay "bro&ken"
bro

'ken' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
```
It's clear that everything after the `&` is being passed to `cmd`.
