: But this assumes that programs know when they are and aren't
: manipulating file names, which is not true in general (see Software
I think I misunderstood your comment.
I'm not talking about letting programs recognize that ' ' is part of
a field in a file (again, if your file format contains file names, it
should probably be defined so that's not a problem).
I'm talking about programs assuming that something is a file name
and not considering ' ' as part of the name. For example, the regexps
for file names in your lib/plumbing that do not include ' ' as a valid
char, and similar pieces within C programs.
PS: Sorry about attaching the post twice in my last mail, forgot to
delete the Include line.
