I just had a debate with someone over whether files "should" contain
spaces in them. I say yes, because it's how people work and it's what
the space [bar] is FOR. He says no, because it confuses lots of shell
scripts and other code, and can do bad things like wipe you hard drive!
:-D
So, in using xcode, and even make, I've rarely hesitated to put spaces
in _paths, but my source files have always had names with no spaces.
Can xcode compile files... "name with spaces.cc"? Will gcc break? Will
anything?
Two sides to this question. The first is from the technical point of
view: Can I do it, will it break, etc
The other side is idealogical: Should I do it, should I _expect it to
work, etc.

PS: if there's an apple dev_ideologies list, and you think this is off
topic, I'll post there instead!
