Can't it be done only if xloc.file contains any fancy characters?
Sure, but why? Strings generally get emitted with quotes around them, I don't see a good reason for filenames to be different, especially if it makes the output easier to parse.
If it does (where fancy should be anything other than [a-zA-Z/_0-9.-] or some other reasonable definition, certainly space, quotes, backslash, etc. would count), shouldn't we adjust it (e.g. use \" instead of ", handle control characters etc.)?
The way I see it, spaces in filenames are regrettably somewhat common. Backslashes and quotes rather less so, to the point I really don't see a need to worry about them at the moment, and the necessary quoting could be added later if really necessary.
