Yes, its increasingly the case that even "official" files from
installed apps have files with spaces in the names so I'm having
to remember to use quotes etc. But, particularly in the shell
it's not always obvious just when and what kind of
quotation/escape sequence I need.

The fewer of the things I find the better, so I still avoid
adding to the chaos with my personal stuff.
