Thank you for pursuing this.
Properly quoting unusual names like those is definitely welcome,
however, in the remaining 99% of use cases, I find the added quotes
to be most unwelcome: at least two extra bytes per line, in addition to
the common hassles with multi-byte rendering.
What do you think about a mode that quotes only when necessary?
