I would think that in both cases the alias name could be MyScript.
Or yet better, it should be set independently from the file name.

If you decide to use the file name as the alias, then yes, you may add "/"
to the list of valid chars. Hopefully this will not break anything.

Of course the correct solution is to formalize (and standardize) aliases,
so that fvwm and modules would not guess and not use their own heuristics.
Something for the future, not very easy if we think about compatibility.
