(I realize this is moot with the simple space escaping you just added.  Yay!)


If you mean GNU Coreutils printf as "few-years-ago dependency", I don't
follow.  That is typical on GNU/Linux, but on BSD there is a different
/usr/bin/printf which lacks %q but I believe conforms to POSIX.

(As an aside, I think it's often not a good thing for programs that are
required by POSIX to add extensions; that leads to people writing
nonportable code.  The poster child of this is bash and test ==.)
