// The command we run has two arguments:
// * The first arg is the (trimmed) text. This gets stored in a variable, in order to
// preserve quoting and special characters.
//
// * The second argument is the user's command, with the '{}' token replaced with an
// unquoted reference to the variable containing the text.
//
// The reference is unquoted, unfortunately, because the token may already have been
// spliced into a string (e.g 'tmux display-message "Copied {}"'), and it's impossible (or
// at least exceedingly difficult) to determine the correct quoting level.
//
// The alternative of literally splicing the text into the command is bad and it causes all
// kinds of harmful escaping issues that the user cannot reasonable avoid.
//
// For example, imagine some pattern matched the text "foo;rm *" and the user's command was
// an innocuous "echo {}". With literal splicing, we would run the command "echo foo;rm *".
// That's BAD. Without splicing, instead we execute "echo ${THUMB}" which does mostly the
// right thing regardless the contents of the text. (At worst, bash will word-separate the
// unquoted variable; but it won't _execute_ those words in common scenarios).
//
// Ideally user commands would just use "${THUMB}" to begin with rather than having any
// sort of ad-hoc string splicing here at all, and then they could specify the quoting they
// want, but that would break backwards compatibility.
