Add q alias for shellQuote template function?

[vergenzt]

The project I'm working on right now works with a lot of files with special characters in their names. I'm passing these filenames around as variables and referring to them a lot in shell commands.

I just realized I can use the shellQuote function to quote things... but unfortunately that makes my commands a lot longer since I'm referring to 2-3 filename variables in each command (having to write temporary files in a pipeline into a directory containing special chars), so I'm having to repeat {{shellQuote .VAR}} a lot.

It'd be SOOOO nice to be able to just do {{q .VAR}}! Without (IMO) really any loss of clarity. Since the primary / only(?) way of actually operating on the contents of variables is via shell commands, it seems appropriate to me that the shellQuote function should have such a short alias.

Thoughts?

@vergenzt I liked the idea. Contributions welcome! This should be easy to do.
