Funny filenames: in the nick of time!

Hmmm... AT&T picks up one of the more debatable 4.2BSD features.  At some
point, presumably, UNIX will support an 8-bit character set (in order to
include characters in non-English-language alphabets without stealing the
positions that rightfully belong to things like '{').  When that happens,
*somebody's* going to have to fix "sh" (and "csh", and...) not to use the
MSB as a quoting bit, and the shell will finally allow you to talk about
those files.  Somebody's also going to have to remove that restriction from
the kernel...
