Not only case-folding: the argument of -n is actually a regex pattern,
and parentheses are special in regexes.  The double quotes would fix
both of those things though.

Personally I'd think twice or three times about using a schema name like
that.  But you can do it, if you can figure out how to get Windows to
include a double quote in a command argument.
