Well, these characters may be used as file names on Linux as well,
but some of these are not valid in C. So, maybe we should encode
them in the C level as follows?
"address@hidden" -> "A$40B"
"A#B" -> "A$23B"
"A$B" -> "A$24B"
"A-B" -> "A$2DB"
"A_B" no change
Also, program names that begins with digits are not valid in C.
We need to encode them as well:
"12A" -> $312A
