doesn't work for bash, which means that the current implementation
of the "escape" quoting style is not really helpful.
Have you tried doing an "ls --help" ?

If you look under --quoting-style, you'll
see:
 --quoting-style=WORD   use quoting style WORD for entry names:
                        literal, locale, shell, shell-always,
                        shell-escape, shell-escape-always, c, escape

I haven't verified, but it looks like one of the options
with the word 'shell' in it might be more in line w/what you
want...
