Summary:                    No function for escaping shell characters
Description: 
The problem is that you cannot use few variables as file name when
Monitor() is being used because some characters are not escaped.

Example:
MixMonitor(${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d-%H:%M:%S)}_EXTEN=${EXTEN}_CALLERID=${CALLERID(num)}_CHANNEL=${CHANNEL}_ID=${UNIQUEID}.wav)

That will work fine until CHANNEL is sip channel and it's name contains
"/" character.

It will be considered as directory path separator and saving to such file
will fail.

There is a need for QUOTE_SHELL() function that will escape all special
shell characters.

Or the FILTER() function, for that matter.
