On Windows:

-------------------------
import std.process;
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
    // Works. However, shell() is scheduled for
    // deprecation in favor of executeShell()
    writeln( shell(`"cmd with spaces.exe" --help`) );

    // Fails:
    // '"cmd with spaces.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file.
    writeln( executeShell(`"cmd with spaces.exe" --help`).output );
}
-------------------------

On Linux, the equivalent code (replacing single quotes with double quotes)
works fine on both shell() and executeShell().
