Well, I still dont see any examples.  I don't think it is possible even
using IFS.  Even if it does work somehow, it isn't easy or intuitive.

But there is worse.

Try and run the following script:

-----------
    f1="/a/b/a-000"
    f2="/a/b/c d-000"
    touch "a-000.ext"
    touch "c d-000.ext"

    for file in "$(basename \"$f1\")"*.ext "$(basename \"$f2\")"*.ext
    do
        echo "one=$file"
    done

    for file in "`basename \"$f1\"`"*.ext "`basename \"$f2\"`"*.ext
    do
        echo "two=$file"
    done
-----------

The backticks work perfectly.
But the $() gets it very wrong and leaves a double-quote in the result.

The two methods should be exactly equivalent when there is no nesting.
