and i guess awk printf should be given a %q option
and maybe echo should have a -q option too
and du should print its output quoted
and pwd should too
and maybe cp should have an option to convert
spaces when copying from a filesystem that can have
spaces (e.g. ftpfs) to a filesystem that doesn't (e.g. the
plan 9 fileserver)
and other things too... i'm sure.
