-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Karl Berry on 2/14/2008 4:48 PM: | | "C escapes" means to use the backslash character as escape character. | | This is a particularly bad choice, because - as you know - on some systems, | | backslahes are used as directory separator. | | That hardly seems an insurmountable objection to me, since | (1) many such paths will not have any special characters (such as : or a | control character), and therefore will not be quoted, and therefore the | \'s will just appear as-is, and
Quotearg does not now do this (if \ is present at all, the c-maybe style adds "" and quotes it), but I can easily add that behavior (if \ appears, but no other troublesome characters, then "" is not added and \ appears as is, rather than doubled). Thanks for the idea. Meanwhile, whether or not the decision is made to go with \ vs. % quoting, I think it shouldn't be too hard to make the quotearg module support both styles, so I'll tackle an implementation of % quoting next. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
