Description

I got the following error passing a "command" as an argument to yesod devel:

> dotenv -o -- yesod devel --success-hook "echo foo"
Invalid argument `foo'

Usage: yesod [-d|--dev] [-v|--verbose] COMMAND

If I call it directly, it works as expected:

> yesod devel --success-hook "echo foo"

My theory is that this is not related to yesod devel per se, but rather to how dotenv -- <command> <args> works, as it seems that is not properly escaping the arguments after --

Research direction

Start by reproducing the dotenv -o -- yesod devel --success-hook "echo foo" command and inspect how arguments after -- are parsed and passed through. Done means the quoted echo foo value remains a single argument while the direct yesod devel behavior continues to work.
