LGTM!

I wonder if we will see this giving us problems in other instances. Do we have other diagnostics printed out in queries that could cause similar problems?

getFile() could also very theoretically contain a $, but I guess having filenames with $ is fishing for problems 😅

Possibly, but I don't see any other way of fixing this than on a case-by -case basis.

Yeah. The critically broken pattern is $@ though, because we use that as a placeholder in QL problem queries. Can that occur in file names?
