Hello
While working on a cheap solution for my own nuisances on Windows I
found that for the upcoming Gnu Emacs-28 setting
(setq ffap-file-name-with-spaces 1)
is working quite fine! FYI: ffap is checking if the file or path
exists. So ffap-string-at-point might work for test strings but then
ffap is more reluctant... ;-)
