Why are you doing this? I hate to be that guy, but examples are important.
Arguably the most important lesson I have learned with computer programming is:
use the right tool for the job.

So when I need to do something, I start with a shell script. Then once a shell
script doesnt cut it anymore, I move to AWK, then Python, the Go. Substitute
your language of choice.

What I dont do is call a shell script from Go or anything else. I might call
"git.exe" or "ffmpeg.exe", but even then you could argue against it as those
binaries have libraries too.

I agree that Cygwin should be parsing to and from cmd.exe correctly. But unless
you have a valid use case, its kind of like "Cygwin theory". I have found that
historically those type issues are less likely to be resolved in timely manner,
if at all.
