It's a good thought that those who are very concerned about <> can use
an ARGV preprocessor. Unfortunately, you're suggestion doesn't work. :-)
Specifically, \Q...\E will prefix certain characters with '\', and this
will make it impossible to represent file names with the same special
characters (the theoretical filenames with '|', '<' or '>') but that are
not escaped in the file name.
