In dutch I've heard them be called flying commas unapologetically (vliegende comma's — ironically has one in it because many plurals need it, it doesn't mark possession)

Now I'm imagining a shell that looks iteratively through arguments to find where quotes would make total sense
$ ls
my victims.ods
$ wipe -f my victims.ods --thorough
So the shell would go like
wipe→ command name found, ok-f→ no file in the current directory starts with that, skipmy→ matches a file, keep in memory...my victims.ods→ full match, but missing quotes!- Prompt user:
Filename "my victims.ods" found without quotes. Choose:
[a]dd quotes this time
[A]lways add quotes (dangerous)
[n]o quotes today please
[N]ever offer adding quotes again
[t]ell me what could possibly go wrong when I choose to always add quotes
[P]unch the person who proposed this feature
Not to mention the improved team quality now that you can easily and effectively verify that the person can do the job in real-world conditions
But, to be fair, there does probably need to be some pre-selection. Anyone could show up for a free day's wage. Might still be worth it though, who knows
the problem solves itself (unless you are very desperate)
Have you seen dating sites? When the market is such that one side can clearly pick whoever they want, not everyone has the luxury (good looks for dating / relevant experience for jobs) to not play ball
And here I thought it was referring to the small print on the inside. Then it hit me.
Scripting isn't the issue, but for tab completion: the boundary is often at a space or parenthesis so that you need to type the backslash + char to continue tabbing to completion
