Comment (by knarf):

 Why should we do this? What about, for example, dashes, tildes, spaces,
 dots? What about umlauts? How should we enforce the non-use of some
 characters?

 I can understand that a project like the Einstein Toolkit should avoid
 certain characters like backslashes or colons, which is a strategical
 decision. I disagree that Cactus itself should limit that choice
 technically. On the contrary, it should work with whatever it finds.
