llIlI.lI: a URL shortener using only I/l to encode domains

This reminds me of my unary directory hierarchy: a segment in my test suite consisting entirely of unary newline files and subdirectories, i.e. with filenames '\n\n...\n' for some number of newlines. I use it to test if shell script authors understand how to treat filenames correctly.

Funny yes, but any shell script I write I'd be happy for it to fail (gracefully) this test. Unless you can convince me there is a requirement for something as convulted as this?

When you are writing shell scripts to be deployed to systems you do not control, you are required to handle filenames you do not control; i.e. all of them. I don't care about convincing you, I did not write the tests for you in particular.
