(exa PR) 1165: Quote file names containing spaces and/or single quotes

ogham/exa#1165

[cafkafk]

I personally believe quotes should be the default, but a command-line switch (--no-quotes) exists for those who prefer not having them. This also provides a framework for supporting different quoting styles in the future.

This is opinionated and should be discussed. @sbatial how do you feel about the PR?

I tried it and it looks good on my end.

Reading ogham/exa#216 seems to indicate to me that using it as a default would make sense though.
I'm personally not sure. I don't think I've had any issues with that so far really so 🤷

Just to get a third opinion about someone for sure using the tool: Do you have any opinion on this @syphar?

I can check this the next days (a screenshot would help with quicker judgement).

Purely from the PR description:

• I can imagine quotes being added being useful
• but only if it doesn't break the alignment of the filenames between quoted and unquoted.

there is also a (IMO lower prio) factor of scripts using the output for further tasks, though I'm not sure if this tool is used like this.

Here's a screenshot.

The alignment is actually a good point/idea imo

seems to be working now. Need some feedback here.

Closed - redone in #318 due to messy af commit history and laziness in not wanting to rebase and squash them
