But spaces in filenames are legal, so programs need to support that;
Er, nevermind. I didn't read closely enough.
Karel, single quotes cause backslashes to be backslashes, instead of
escape chars (*except* if it's a backslash in front of a single quote,
so that you can escape single quotes to include them). The behaviour
you're seeing is entirely correct.
I still stand by my abstract philosophical standpoint, that forcing
certain conventions is not a substitute for bugfixing, but it turns
out it doesn't apply here.
