I don't make my scripts always deal with spaces, either. Or deal with
command line errors gracefully, etc. I also consider them broken :)

Not to quote is fine for personal quick-and-dirty scripts, when you know
you can count on input w/o special characters. But for professsional
scripts that shall be distributed it is inexcusable, because users WILL
create spaces in filenames. IMHO there is little point in avoiding "Link
to" at all costs by default.
