I think the real problem is that people who *don't* want to use spaces
(or other odd characters) in file names have to do extra work to cope
with files created by those who do want to use spaces. and as rog and
others observed more clearly, shell and acme quoting are the least of
the problems. I too was relieved upon first reading intro(2) to see
whitespace in file names banned.
