why does noone inprove bash such that you can write a normal foor loop with whitespace in file names?

I know that there are ten different alternatives. Why don't we simply improve the basic stuff?

  • @barbara Is bash itself not already an improvement on ""the basic stuff""?

    ...and whitespace in filenames is simply unacceptable, and should not be encouraged. 😆

    What's wrong with the method we've been usin forever of working with dumbly named files? Just "enclose em", or use\ an\ escape\ char in em.
