OK, here are a few more results, with *errors*
1. (Ben Schmidt; I confirm) With the patch, after (in bash)
touch "It's good"
touch "It's bad"
touch "It's ugly"
then, in Vim, command-line completion only works if I don't try to do
completion after typing (or entering via a previous completion) a part-name
which includes an apostrophe:
:e I<Tab>
allows to select from the 'wildmenu' BUT
:e It\'s\ g<Tab>
fails with a beep
2. After editing those files, a Session file is created in error by
":mksession", giving "E77: Too many files" when reloading with the -S option.
Examination of the session script shows lines such as
badd +1 It's\ good
badd +1 It's\ bad
badd +0 It's\ ugly
where the quote is NOT backslash-escaped.
