While I agree that there are silly cases, the original one that prompted
this was newline, because I do *NOT* like the idea that
	find . [options] -print | xargs
can run commands on files find didn't find.

Yes, -print0/xargs -0 fixes this, but I'm not sure I wouldn't be
happier just eliminating certain clases of problematic names.

Likewise, I wouldn't miss characters I can't type at all, and I wouldn't
miss spaces very much.
