A quick test of command-line completion seems OK: ":e t<Tab>" (with 'wildmenu'
on) found the files created by the external commands
touch "test 'this & that' filename"
touch "this&'that other'"
touch "test filename with ' single quote"
The filenames were the strings above without the double quotes.
Backslash-escaping looked OK: I could edit the files and save them. Then "ls
t*" in bash didn't show spurious filenames, and these files' lengths weren't
zero anymore. If you have other cases in mind, I'm ready to check.
Best regards,
Tony.
