I couldn''t find any characterization of what file name are legal.  I think this may be dependent upon the file device (?do we want to change this?).  In any case I expected to find something like':'
'
A file name is a sequence of any alphanumeric characters plus the characters {-, ~, @, \, /, etc.} (or whatever they are) containing at least one non-numeric character.'
