The only restrictions Unix has is that you can't include a '/' in a 
filename. You can even use control characters - backspace, newline 
and carriage-return can give interesting results when they're 
displayed. It's still best to keep to those characters that don't 
have to be quoted to represent them to a shell. The commonest problem 
is spaces because they delimit arguments in lists and have to be 
quoted to a shell.
