Seeking ls functionality, wrap file names in quotes when there is an embedded space
I read on a webpage I can't cite that the Linux coreutils package at version 8.25 was modified so it, by default, the ls command puts single quotes around file names with spaces in them. Also that the ls -N option and the bash QUOTING_STYLE environment variable when set with the value of "literal" can be used to turn off the new behavior. I want to go the other direction in bash under MacOS. Is there a way to turn on wrapping of file names containing spaces in bash? I like not having to add single quotes all the time to the file names I copy and paste on Linux, so it'd be nice to have the same capability, at least optionally, on my Mac.
