Is NUL \0 allowed in POSIX file names? If not, could that be used as an escape char. If it is not legal, then custom translated strings that escape in the wild would raise a red flag as soon as something else tried to use them. AFAIK NUL should be okay but I haven't read a specification to reach that conclusion. Is that a proposal? Should I go find someone who has read the relevant standards to find out?
