Consider two .tex files located at
http://www.inf.uniri.hr/~vmiletic/art-pre/ with same content:
context --mode=article art-pre.tex works right,
context --mode=article art+pre.tex fails with
! Undefined control sequence.
system > tex > error on line 7 in file art+pre.tex: Undefined
control sequence ...
Should + not be used? It seems to work ok without modes, but I haven't
tested deeply.
Regards,
Vedran Miletić

Only ascii letters from [a-z] are supported as far as I know. If anything else
works, be happy but it's not guaranteed. It's a bug - or maybe better - a
known restriction and if I'm not mistaken it's mentioned somewhere in one of
the manuals. Additionally you can find a discussion on the mailing list
several weeks/months ago.

As mentioned above, use it on your own risk, it may fail.

There is now an entry in the FAQ:

Thanks, but this says nothing about "+" character specifically. Shouldn't it
be in the same category as "-"?

(Probably not so related to Ctx and OSs other than Win - "-" was DOS valid character but "+" was not:
http://www.bsdg.org/swag/DOS/0082.PAS.html
Win command "copy" and "xcopy" treats "+" as a separator of file names for some special action.)
BTW: When talking about special characters of file names again -
- I'd vote for '_', '~', '@', '$' and '!' to be valid chars in file names as well.

It's easier and less error-prone to say what characters are guaranteed
to work, than to say what characters could cause problems.
There are a lot more characters, that you could try:
!"'`§$%&/()=?{[]}\*,;:_°^|<>@ and all kind of 8-bit characters of course!
