I discovered another case where unquoted file names cause a bug.

When a zip archive contains a file with square brackets in its name
(e.g. "file[name].txt") then visiting this file displays an error:

  caution: filename not matched:  file[name].txt

That's because `archive-extract-by-stdout' runs `call-process'
where the filename is unquoted:

  unzip -qq -c archive.zip file[name].txt

There are more calls of `call-process' in arc-mode.el, so perhaps
this is a more general problem.
