Hm... There are plenty of formats only available like this:
bitmap font
TeX system documentation
TeX system sources
Troff fonts
dvips config
type42 fonts
web2c files
other text files
other binary files
misc fonts
opentype fonts
pdftex config
Some of those are quite unimportant for scripts, but "web2c files"
and "other text files" are relevant to many scripts. So, the current
implementation of lots of scripts has already to take care of correct
and portable quoting.
What I want to say is: if you want to get rid of this problem, you can't
just change the "opentype fonts" format. A more general approach has to
be taken.
