SplitArgs() extension method does not properly handle arguments with quoted values

I attempted to use SplitArgs() to split an string provided by a user while the console app is running (via Console.ReadLine()) and the result of it is different than if the user entered the string on the command prompt as part of launching.

Here is a concrete example:

myprogram.exe cool-command --arg1="Howdy Partner" --arg2=arg_without_spaces

Entering this from the command prompt will give you the following args in the args[] array.

• cool-command
• --arg1=Howdy Partner
• --arg2=arg_without_spaces

while SplitArgs() will give me the following

• cool-command
• --arg1="Howdy Partner
• --arg2=arg_without_spaces

Notice there is a quote before Howdy Partner and there is no trailing quote. I would expect no quotes at all.

I looked into alternate implementation and found this which worked correctly for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64236441/1571903
