Good point...I don't use fnameescape() often enough to remember
it -- my brain starts with "I need to escape something...hey,
there's an escape() function that does what I need" and I just
use that. I also don't remember when it was added...I cut my
teeth on a late version of 5.x which I don't remember having
fnameescape() when I first learned vim.
So yes, Ryan, fnameescape(expand("%:p:h")) is a better choice :)
