Description
I did not find any documentation on how to escape the prefix character if needed. And none of my attempts were successful:
- myprog @@escaped-arg
- myprog '@escaped-arg'
In both of these cases, argfile attempts to read the non-existent "[@]escaped-arg" file.

Research direction
Start by locating the fromfile parser and checking how arguments beginning with the prefix character are classified. Define the supported escaping behavior and document or test it so an escaped argument is no longer treated as a filename.
