Default Bad characters in filenames (Was: With DaaS Windows Coming, Say Goodbye To Your PC As You Know It)

This (that all other characters are allowed) is a misfeature, but it is

actually, there should be *no* restrictions at all on which characters
can be used in a file name. users should be able to name their files
anything they want. unfortunately, we're stuck with a lot of legacy
code, so that's not likely to change any time soon, if ever.


I think a very good argument could be made for being *very* selective
about which characters below ASCII 32 ("SPACE") are acceptable in
filenames. Not many users really want or need to use terminal escape
code sequences in filenames, nor new lines or backspaces.
