But they are, even in my system there're many files with blanks on their
names
(and I never choose such names).

Since IFAIK none of the authors have anything against the proposal
that came out of 9fans (see my previous post, where I tried to summarize
it),
what if I change the source just to do it? 

	- let Alt-spc generate our unicode blank character
	- change the system to translate blanks in file names to the
	  same character.
	- change the quote library so it does not quote that character.

I don't have much time right know and that's why I ask before changing
the
code. I'm willing to implement it if there's agreement, so please, don't
ignore the proposal just becase there's no code attached by now,
just let me know.
