I think I disagree about whether these belonged in the test runner; that

would happen on any OS when reading through a pipe or a socket or a PerlIO
layer or /dev/mumble that has a fixed-sized buffer measured in bytes. What
happens on Unix when you have a pipe bu

cks
implementation should be modified to parse quotes off the first parameter and
replaces spaces with %^_. So
"/sys$common/my programs here/foo.exe"
becomes
sys$common:[my^_programs^_here]foo.exe
Someone stop me if this is not a good idea.

As far as what git does, I think it simply averts its eyes from all questions
of encoding and stores bytes.
