ls showing quotes around files with blanks (F24)

[SternData]

When did this start happening and is there a way to disable it?  Where
are those ' coming from?

[sdstern@sds-desk download]$ touch "file with blank"
[sdstern@sds-desk download]$ ls
'file with blank'
[sdstern@sds-desk download]$

I noticed that on upgrading to F24. It appears to be related to the ls
option "-Q" (man ls) but I don't see why it's on by default. Note that
it doesn't happen when the output is piped to another program.

I don't think it is related to Q since specifying that gives you double-quotes while not
specifying gets you a single-quote.  Not seeing a way to disable it....but I personally
won't be disabling it as I've found it useful when needing to copy/paste.

I hadn't noticed this prior to F24 so I can't guarantee that it is 
occurring for the first time in F24. The quotes are also added for 
directories with embedded blanks as well. I am assuming it is something 
being added by ls itself as it doesn't happen with Dolphin. I would 
assume it is done to show that what is being shown is a single file name 
rather than multiple files, whereas with dolphin it is obvious it is a 
single name with the way dolphin displays names.

I already have an 'ls' alias with the --color=none option,
after some experimentation, I can see I need to add
the --quoting-style=literal option as well.

(Someday I'm going to snap and start hitting
"helpful" programmers over the head with a rubber
chicken :-).
