No, we already discussed this. file.child[0].file.filename=1.qcow2 requires shell quoting to avoid unintentional shell globbing; file.child.0.file.filename=1.qcow2 is just as legible and can still be reconstructed into an array under the hood, and has the benefit of not needing quoting to protect against shell globbing. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
