Yes, thanks.

But what about the alternatives, like quoting of some kind?  One
possibility is to use ".." to quote file names with whitespace;
another is to escape whitespace with a backslash, like we already do
for a colon.

Given that recoding whitespace is not a straightforward solution, and
possibly brings complications, I'd suggest to talk about those
alternatives as well.  Perhaps their complications are easier handled,
and they are definitely more natural in use.
