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.
