I would suggest that if you need to use a debugger to track down a bug in your program, you should use filenames that don't require quoting when you set up your tests.
1970's style static test cases are not relevant here.In the real world... I download files generated by another system that are constantly changing content and with names I don't control.
My workflow is to download a new file from a remote source and then run my processor over it.
As a necessary consequence I need the fully quoted or escaped file name of the new file to feed to the processor/debugger.
I can obviously add an extra step to the process to convert the new file name to something acceptable before processing. However, my question was how to avoid that extra step by getting fully quoted filenames to process.
