Comment (by humdinger):

 While I'd agree not to unnecessarily dumbing down things, in this case I'm
 not so sure. Having to escape characters is familiar to people that are no
 strangers to the Terminal, not to the general GUI trained user which is
 still Haiku's main target.

 The best solution may be to deal with it like in TextSearch, i.e. another
 checkbox besides "including Trash" and "temporary" with a standardly
 checked "Auto-escape" (with a tooltip explaining escaping).
