    Let me take exception to not quoting the *.c in the above.  If there

True enough, I meant to say `find *.c | xargs grep void' :).

    "Back in the day" you could rely upon the fact that people never put
    funny characters in file names.

True enough, I was/am relying on that fact.  Heck, the Unixy
distributions I tend to grep don't put spaces in their filenames ...

    my best to retrain myself to think of every filename as being
    potentially hostile toward me.

I understand, but how sad.  I like to think of filenames as my friends,
there is too much hostility in the world already :).
