In addition to NUL, surely / should be illegal!
I certainly wouldn't want \n in file names; \r seems just too close.
Pathological egregiousness?
There is only one true separator, and that is '/'. In the context of
pathnames, '/' is NUL as per C strings. NUL in pathnames is silly, but
allowed, as per pathnames.
It makes no sense, but if you can push a NUL into a pathname, you
should deal with the result. It's a pity the intermediate code has to
do so as well ...
