Hmph, wouldn't it make it more cumbersome and problematic to do
things like this here in add_one() phase?  I am imagining that the
endgame of this program will be

    - populate_cached_entries() reads from the data source (at this
      step, there is just "the index"), calling add_one() whose
      responsibility is to record the paths that are interesting
      to an in-core structure;

    - perform some interesting filtering, annotating, ordering,
      etc. (at this step, there is none) yet to come;

    - display() will iterate over the result and then format the
      result.

For example, if you do the "quote" thing too early, don't codepaths
in the later phases have to worry about item->string not matching
the original pathname anymore?  If you want to do something like
"/bin/ls -t", you may have to lstat() the paths for each item, but
if these store a path relative to the prefix, wouldn't you have to
prepend the prefix again before running lstat()?

I am just wondering if this prefix-stripping and quoting belongs to
the output phase, not the input phase.
