I won't argue for any changes, just thought to ask about it.
I'll think about a workaround outside context.
The "error" is with the backend.
luatex (and pdftex and even tex) do not like filenames with a ~ in it.
luatex test\~1.tex
tries to compile a file called test.tex! If you want to compile
test~1.tex, you need
luatex "test\string~1.tex"
In ConteXt, a wrapper script mtx-context calls luatex with appropriate
settings of format, etc. So, with
context test\~1.tex
mtx-context will call
luatex --fmt=... --lua=.. "test~1.tex"
which, as mentioned above, tries to compile test.tex. But you can use the
same workaround
context "test\\string~1.tex"
and the file test~1.tex is correctly compiled.
A simple "yes, can be done" or "no, its a really bad idea" is perfectly enough
for me.
I don't understand why tex (the engine) ignores ~. I will call it a bug.
