Tim,
May I suggest making [quoted form] an option to POSIX path? i.e.,
POSIX path of f with quoting
That way
A. the need for quoting is obvious from the dictionary entry for POSIX
path
B. the method is obvious from the dictionary entry for POSIX path
C. the fact that quoted form appears nowhere in the (b2) dictionary
won't
matter :-)
May I suggest that POSIX path of f should default to quoting? Frankly, I
have a hard time understanding the use of POSIX path without the quoting.
