Note - page down - that most 'modern' fs allow a directory name to include:

Technically this is a bit more restricted, e.g. '/' is normally not

Technically it is 'allowed' - essential even - just restricted to
specialty use, hence my comment that the cited webpage was imperfect.
Note that the entries for *some* fs do list the oblique character (and
others) as proscribed, but that most of those we use on any form of *n*x
do not. I agree they should do - at least with qualifiers.
Ex: - is ntfs (just) more restrictive than UFS - or simply more
accurately described on that webpage?
;-)
