19
20    For example, `shell.array_literal(["a", "b", "c"])` would return the string
21    `("a" "b" "c")`, which can be used in a shell script wherever an array
22    literal is needed.
23
24    Note that all elements in the array are quoted (using `shell.quote`) for
25    safety, even if they do not need to be.
26
27    Args:
28      iterable: A sequence of elements. Elements that are not strings will be
29          converted to strings first, by calling `str()`.

31    Returns:
32      A string that represents the sequence as a shell array; that is,
33      parentheses containing the quoted elements.
