The filesystem library traffics in generic paths, which contain directory
or file names.
Because they seem so likely to be non-portable, the following characters
are prohibited in generic names (but not in system_specific names):
0x00 - 0x1F
<
>
:
"
/
\
|
*
?
This restriction wasn't documented during the formal review, so I'm
mentioning it now to see if anyone cares to comment.
