Comment(by hakre):

 that argumentation would make -1 for those (which are in right now) as
 well:

 {{{"?", "[", "]", "/", "\\", "=", "<", ">", ":", ";", ",", "'", "\"", "&",
 "$", "#", "*", "(", ")", "|", "~", "`", "!", "{", "}"}}}

 because the API, which is PHP in this case, would be responsible for
 filename escaping.

 So where does that lead to?
