i'm *very* happy with zsh's conservatism: with one or two exceptions,
my 14yr old .zshrc has worked the same for me the whole time.
that said, i rely on filename completion to quote metacharacters for me.
it's possible to screw it up when i *do* input crazy filenames w/o
autocompletion (most probably copy/paste), so far i had no horrible
things happen in result (knock on wood). IOW i have a slight preference
for interactive comments to be enabled by default, if completion
compensates for it.
