Let me know if you notice a problem. I'll remove the "draft" tag on these
if I don't hear anything.
I added a new feature to the shell syntax:
If you substitute the output of a command, surrounding it by
double quotes, then spaces are literals, but newlines are
argument separators:. This is useful when you have one filename per line,
and the filenames may contain spaces, as in the output from find:
&`{ls -l "&`{find . -name '*.pdf'}"}
