I forgot about this example:

    brane@zulu:~/src/bs$ touch "$(echo fileXname | tr 'X' '\n')"
    brane@zulu:~/src/bs$ /bin/ls -wl
    total 0
    -rw-r--r--  1 brane  staff  0 Jun 17 18:09 file
    name


You were saying, about "legal" filenames? Will you support this in the 
--targets file as well? It is, after all, no more an exception than the 
trailing spaces.

And, finally:

    brane@zulu:~/src/bs$ touch "$(echo 'fileX[1;31mnameX[0;m' | tr 'X' '\033')"
    brane@zulu:~/src/bs$ /bin/ls -wl
    total 0
    -rw-r--r--  1 brane  staff  0 Jun 17 18:19 filename


This one doesn't even have any hidden whitespace. And we do already 
support this in --targets. :)
