Function 'nicedirname' doesn't work as expected

[atueting]

*) printf '\-%s' "$dirname" ;;
With this code the archive always entails a backslash.

Which OS are you using?

printf is a finicky beast. And so is echo. Different OSes treat leading dashes differently, and I had to guess at a mechanism that would work everywhere.

It's true that nicedirname always includes a backslash, but it should have always interpolated away when included in strings. In retrospect, that simply wasn't a good approach.

I'm going to commit a different approach. Please, give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
