try $set proc/parse=extended ?

(I don't see a ready solution for trying
to do this with a one-liner pipe-command,
unless there's a java$ feature logical
for the argv processing)

$help set proc /parse
...
C/C++ programs that use the argc/argv mechanism will have unquoted arguments in lowercase unless the C Run-Time
Library logical DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE is set to ENABLE. When DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE is enabled, case is preserved in command
when DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE is enabled,
case is preserved in command line arguments when the process is set up for extended DCL
parsing using /PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED.

Ah, of course! That's it.

OK, I can live with having to do this command or else put double-quotes around mixed-case paths in the repo, as these are in the very small minority (and really should be renamed to all lowercase anyway ... it's just that this would immediately invalidate any workspaces, so I haven't bothered yet).
