After being burned by using `head -c6 /dev/urandom | base64` as part of a directory name, I realised that it would be useful if base64 had an option to generate URL and Filename safe encodings, as specified in RFC 3548 section 4.
This would make cat FILE | base64 --filename-safe equivalent to cat FILE | base64 | tr '+/' '-_' using the current coreutils tools.
