How can anything related to quoted file name be urgent to fix?Quoted filenames are a core Emacs function that is = prominently documented, see e.g.=C2=A0https://www.gnu.org= /software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Quoted-File-Names.html. They are= also the only reliable method for external scripts and libraries to ensure= that Emacs doesn't mangle a local filename in unpredictable ways. Ther= efore it's very important that quoted filenames are bugfree.= Perhaps even more importantly, that commit fixes a regression:em= acs -Q -batch -l filenotify --eval=3D"(file-notify-rm-watch (file-noti= fy-add-watch \"/:/tmp/\" '(change) 'ignore))"--089e0829c8fc97b30b056778a1cf--works in master and Emacs 25.2, but not with the release branch.
