That was three years ago, with no followup.
I don't think adding @ here is particularly vital -- you used to never
see that character in file names, but lately it seems to have become
more popular? I bump into file names like that from time to time now.
So I've applied the patch -- it's hard to see how it'd introduce any
regressions, and it's slightly useful.
