I admit I have no idea what MS Windows people want. However on Unix, the ability to complete file names that do not start at the start of a line (or are not preceeded by some funny character) seems to be more useful than completion of file names with spaces. AFAIK Unix people are conservative with regard to file names (for many reasons, try to import `just a test module....py' in python or use a shbang line like `#!/usr/bin/lang interpreter' or write a portable makefile that deals with file and directory names with spaces or ...) and the only file names with spaces I have seen so far on Unix came originally from MS Windows.
