Nice.

We should possibly try to somehow get an idea about what commands we want to
allow as SFTP quote commands just so that we don't open this for an endless
amount of new commands getting added. But I don't know how...

Please make patches with 'diff -u' to make them much easier to apply, and
please fix the "// TODO" line. The C++/C99 comment is not allowed, and what
exactly is it that should be done?

need to make a proper section in the man page for the SFTP quote commands as
they're currently just listed by name and not at all described what to expect
of them or what syntax to use...
