Do these really need the FUNNYNAMES prereq? The prereq seems to only be
about embedded quotes, tabs and newlines and is disallowed on MinGW. But
I think both '{' and '@' should work alright there, shouldn't they?
Thanks for a review. I am too curious how this change interacts
with syntax with {braces} that do not use "@".
