At least on Linux and OpenBSD (i.e. 'real' UNIX) typing #> mkdir "dir with spaces" #> cd dir\ with\ spaces/ #> touch "file with spaces" #> echo "Some text" > file\ with\ spaces causes no problems at all. Changing code reliably to include accents, though, might be much more work than enclosing words with double quotes.
