If you've got something tricky, poll me privately. I write a _lot_ of 
shell.

Aye. Our home media server has entirely lowercase dashed filenames.  
Though a few have apostrophes in them :-(

Apps like Plex _require_ a media tree with filenames-with-spaces, 
because they deduce titles etc from them. Ugh. I have a script to make a 
parallel Plex tree from the real media tree.
