ddrake -- can you change the title of the trac ticket to reflect what you
now plan to accomplish?

Thanks for calling my code "totally crazy". I think you are
mischaracterizing what the code does. The point of the eval is not to
"distinguish between strings with and without spaces". The eval allows
for the filename to be determined by valid Python expressions, the
motivating case being
{{{
load DATA+"file.sage"
}}}
which is commonly used in the notebook. It was never meant to be used
with paths that have spaces.
