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.
