@jab01701mid I'm going to be the bad guy and say the fact that UNIX tools haven't adapted to LFNs properly in over fifty years is terrible. Normal people want natural file names (and even technical people like myself do too).
It's a massive failing that Linux has not adapted to make natural language name conventions easier to use.

@neal You are a really bad guy. You probably support TAB spaces in user names and filenames. There should no more be SPACE characters in strings than NULL characters. Oh, and there are "CountedString" people who support NULL characters in strings. Fuck that. People can learn rules, they are there to keep you safe. No SPACE or NULL (or NUL) in filename strings, or user names, ever, anywhere.
