Description

e.g.:

:load 'foo'
File not found: 'foo'

Better error message would be
File not found: "'foo'"

Since the command treats the hyphens as part of the filename (expression after :load is not evaluated).
At least the debug message should be changed. Possibly the arguments to the command should be validated, and possibly even evaluated. Though I won't implement evaluation for now, as benefits are slim.
