That's a good point.  Really, nobody should use spaces in file names,
and any syntax that allows filenames with spaces to be represented
should have quoting, but that ship has sailed :-)

So it would have to be PathComplex or something, or perhaps PathRegex
and PathGlob.

But still, the other half of the question remains: are the people that
want this willing to do all the work.  There is no magic support team
working on user requests.
