Heck no.  I hope I didn't sound like I was saying otherwise.    The 
thing that bugs the heck out of me is exactly these issues of 
robustness, there's always another gotcha.  It would be fantastic to be 
able to make things bullet proof right out of the gate, but that seems 
to be considered an accretion to be learned later on.  Mind, anyone who 
puts newlines in filenames should be burned at the stake, it's sick and 
twisted.  Bart will know how such things were ever permitted in the 
first place.  Mere anarchy was loosed upon the world.
