Wheeler: Fixing Unix/Linux/POSIX Filenames

I totally agree with control characters and uncool stuff like trailing
spaces, but cutting down on the number of "regular" characters like ":
cope with them, and amongst the obvious usefulness of parentheses, those
characters often occur in music tracks that I'm ripping from my CDs. It
would be a shame to lose the ability of naming them with their actual name.

Why don't we instead fix the mechanism that transports strings in the bash?
Like, "All glob expansions are automatically enclosed in strings", "If it's
a string then don't f*cking interpret it as an option", and maybe even
"Here's an array of return values" instead of "If the viewer is a program
then split by newlines, if the viewer is a user then make a table". Type
safety ftw?

I'm all for reasonable defaults and constraining unnecessary stuff, but
when there's an actual *sensible* use case then that use case should not be
made impossible just because the implementation is crappy.
