Specifically, I have to pass an argument list from one program to
another. It seems that I have to write the filenames to a file.
Using ls -db, I can write the filenames with special characters
fully escaped. The second program (invoked via open-x11) somehow
needs to read these filenames. If I use $(<$FILENAME), the
filenames get split at the spaces despite the backslashes, e.g.
Isabelle\ app\ bundle becomes three words.
