To me, it looks far too restrictive.  At least, I'd like to allow
'-' and '_'.  Please see the attached patch.

Any objections?

The dot should also be allowed, to cover the POSIX portable
filename character set altogether.

I liked the idea first.  Then, I realized that we have to add more
sanity checks, e.g., ".", "..", ".foo", etc.

Sorry,

The extra sanity check seems to add very little overhead:

if (echo "$$4" | grep "^\..*" > /dev/null) \
        || (echo "$$4" | grep [^[:alnum:]_.-]>  /dev/null); then \
                echo "blah blah"; \
fi

And "." are very common in filenames.
