In a clean installation of Ubuntu 18.04 suddenly ls has defaulted to quoting filenames with tilde ~, spaces and other characters which may require escaping.  Some extended discussion can be found here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/258679/why-is-ls-suddenly-wrapping-items-with-spaces-in-single-quotes

Please revert this to the decades old standard behaviour.  No one seems to like this new behaviour and it has only led to mass confusion.  Having the new quoted style as an option would be fine but it should not be the default.  Please and thank you.
