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.
