In the function there is, the "set -- $names" (where $names is unquoted)
will expand whatever "names" has been set to, and if it were possible to
get it set to something unexpected, by having a file called:
names=whatever-i-want
in ".", then 'whatever-i-want' will be expanded by the "set" statement).
So, the quoting really should be included there (one of the possible ways).
