Tom,

The {archive} convention has been the source of no end of trouble on
my team by csh and tcsh users, all of whom pretty much learned to hate
GNU arch right out of the gates after struggling with this.  There's
all kinds of escaping headaches associated with {} in csh and tcsh.

I know, "fix your darn shell" and all that, but really, get real.  csh
and tcsh will be around for decades and nobody's going to fix them. 
That's the reality.
