You can pry my spaces from my filenames out of my cold dead fingers.

(I remember having to write AppleScript to recurse through directories cleaning up files created on network shares by MacOS-using munchkins who put space characters at the ends of filenames, in order for them to become valid filenames when seen by MS-Windows-using employees looking at the same network shares. The converse problem was files, from MS-Windows users, with names containing colon, which is a reserved character in MacOS file namespace. What a pain in the tochis.)
