--quote for arguments?

I originally understood --quote
to escape the {...}
substitutions, not the command. Maybe it should escape both?
~> echo "hello 'world'" | parallel --quote --dry-run file -ib
parallel: reading inputs from standard input
file -ib hello 'world'
To obtain the following output:
file -b hello\ \'world\'
In fact, I'd argue that the default behavior is that input converted to arguments should be escaped before substitution.
