In my book, moving to a beta product or not accepting what is a vaild
filename according to the filesystem is a limitation of the program.
Not ConTeXt or TeX defines what a valid filename is, the OS decides.
I do not decide what the names of these files are, someone else
produces them, and my work flow should be able to handle all valid
filenames.
I assume then the answer is no? (Con)TeX(t) can't handle this?
