OK.
Currently, bash inserts "\ " when quoting spaces, and we can't use
that. I don't have a problem with fixing things so that the user has
to start a filename with ' or " in order for it to be quoted, with
Octave/readline inserting the final quote. Bash will also do this,
and it also seems to be what Matlab does, at least on Unixy systems.
Maybe it would also be possible to get Octave/readline to insert the
leading quote if there is only one completion and the filename has
spaces.
