Invalid handling of multi-word script argument

Description

I'm trying to run the vprof profiler on a script that accepts cmdline arguments. I want to use it on the following command:

./tw_gcal_sync --gcal-calendar 'TW Reminders' --taskwarrior-tag 'remindme'

When I run that command on its own it works fine, but when I prepend vprof as in the following case my script complains about invalid extra arguments. Here's the complete output

~/taskw_gcal_sync$ vprof -c cmh  "./tw_gcal_sync --gcal-calendar 'TW Reminders' --taskwarrior-tag 'remindme'"
Running MemoryProfiler...
Usage: tw_gcal_sync [OPTIONS]
Try "tw_gcal_sync --help" for help.
Error: Got unexpected extra argument (Reminders')
Running FlameGraphProfiler...
Usage: tw_gcal_sync [OPTIONS]
Try "tw_gcal_sync --help" for help.
Error: Got unexpected extra argument (Reminders')
Running CodeHeatmapProfiler...
Usage: tw_gcal_sync [OPTIONS]
Try "tw_gcal_sync --help" for help.
Error: Got unexpected extra argument (Reminders')
How to reproduce

I think it's down to wrong management of multi-word arguments of the script under profiling. If I run the same command and substitute TW Reminders with just TW it works fine.

Just run vprof with a script that accepts multi-word arguments. It will split them into separate arguments

Version and platform
