I noticed in the info docs that ls may change to "shell" quoting by default.
"You can specify the default value of the ‘--quoting-style’ option with the environment variable ‘QUOTING_STYLE’. If that environment variable is not set, the default value is ‘literal’, but this default may change to ‘shell’ in a future version of this package." Given the new support for "shell-escape" quoting which provides both a concise and unambiguous output, should we now consider enabling that by default? $ touch '1 2' 3 $'4\r' $ ls-old 1 2 3 4? $ ls-new '1 2' 3 '4'$'\r' cheers, Pádraig.
