One of the most common reasons I see the old `pipes` module still in use when porting to Python 3.13 is for the undocumented `pipes.quote` function, which can easily be replaced with `shlex.quote`. I think it's worth specifically calling this out, since being directed to the `subprocess` module would be confusing in this case.
