One of the ways to avoid spaces in Windows names of files and

Of course, this will only work on filesystems that still support 8.3
equivalents and have that functionality turned on, which isn't always
the case these days. Just a potential gotcha with that approach.
Really? Ugh. I'm using this method for my 'Tagbar' plugin to call ctags
(using system()) since shellescape() doesn't seem to work in Windows for
this case. Could you give some information about when this might be the
case?
From what I can gather from a little Googling:
- 8.3 filenames can only be disabled at all on NTFS volumes.
- They can be disabled system-wide from Windows NT onwards.
- They can be disabled per-volume on Windows 7.
- They are disabled by default on Windows (Server) 2008.
