Hi Romano,

Hmmm, I think maybe so. It looks like to-file should be quoting the
file name so you get %"[s--a]" - which works by itself - but if you use
it in the context of a path (e.g. %/c/rebol/core/[s--a]), you'd want the
whole path quoted, though it isn't necessary in that case.
Worth a feedback I'd say. Whatever the case, we need to know how they
suggest we deal with this kind of thing. E.g. do we need to escape all
chars that would break standard REBOL lexical forms.
