Does anyone want to chime in with support for the change?There are cases when it does make sense: unprintable characters. 15:25 < ansgar> Now, 'new'$'\t''line' could also be $'new\tline' or new\tline. But any of these is better than new?line with which I do agree. Thus, the handling of unprintables could use some improvement (although '$'\t'' is too long).
I'm actually not convinced this is true. Does it actually matter in general what the specific character is that accidentally got inserted into a filename? Like, when does it matter whether it's randomgarbage\t or randomgarbage\n or randomgarbage\a or whatever? Do people often do anything other than rm randomgarbage<tab> ?
