don't have single quotes in many of my filenames, although I do in some.

How did this get displayed? In shell,
'foo \' bar' wouldn't be displayed correctly since you can't
use backslash to escape inside a single quoted string.
That is just plain ugly.

Yeah, though I might use the term "noisy" as a primary
adjective. :-)

Not in general, no. For example:
$ ls --quoting-style=literal
a b c

You must have a strange version of something -- that's not
what I see:
touch 'a b' c
Ishtar:/tmp/tmp> ls
a b c
Ishtar:/tmp/tmp> ls --quoting-style=literal
a b c
Ishtar:/tmp/tmp> ls --quoting-style=shell
'a b' c
Where (or under what conditions)
do you see the "a, b and c" being
spaced apart equally?
