File names shouldn't have anything except a-z,0-9,_ and perhaps a -. No unicode, no spaces, no nulls.

It's not fear that keeps me from using spaces in file names, it's habit.

If we're going to play this dangerous game, from now on I'll figure out how to use nulls (\0) in my file names, and make all the C/C++ programmers cry.
