Yes, or the other approach is quote only the metacharacters (which don't
include space) in the first place. I think there may be some examples
lying around using ${...//.../...}. Oh, yes, here's one from _rm:
${line//(#m)[\[\]()\\*?#<>~\^\|]/\\$MATCH}
It would be overall simpler not to pass the pattern and a fixed string
around in the same variable, involving a bit of structural change.
