That's a very ascii-esqe attitude. In a fully unicode world, I could
easily see using U+00A0 (NO-BREAK SPACE) in file names, and still have
space-delimited CLI work just fine.
But, yeah, in the world we live in today, I try to avoid spaces in
filenames. But, instead of turning "My File Name" into MyFileName, I'll
usually do it as My-File-Name or My_File_Name.
