I like it, especially considering how small the impact on the codebase
is. The downside is (once again) backwards compatibility though, I
haven't heard much on how to address that, other than "just quote it"
(which _I_ think is fine, people with filenames that start with fancy
characters are probably used to quoting them anyway), but what does
Junio think?
