That's indeed what we should do. If and when we ever get support for
filesystem-knowledge in the code, we may revisit this choice, but for
now, please someone change the code that auto-generates those filenames
to avoid characters known to be problematic. Or better yet: to only
use those chars expected to be always work.
I think that changing from # to something else is a drastic change,
and I would not want to do that now. For instance, as Miles said,
Isn't that sort of dangerous? If Emacs only uses characters which are
_garanteed_ to work on any no matter how stupid, that would seem to
dramatically increase the chances of a clash with a real filename...
There could be other characters that in practice will be no pain.
But I think it is wiser to try that in Emacs 23.
