    A script to remove blanks and other annoying characters from filenames.
     in the current directory.
    The default set of characters to replace is ' []()'
    Spaces are replaced with _. 
    If resultant name exists, more _ are used until new name
    is found.
    
       @DeblankFileNames [-move] [FILES]

                 This is the default option
       -move: Actually rename the files (opposite of -dry_run)
       -nobrac: Do not replace () and [] in filenames, just spaces
       -demo_set: Create a toy directory with bad names for testing.
       -echo: Turn on script echo
