Comment(by anonymous):

 Well, I suppose for 'clueless Windows uses' this might be a good fix - but
 not really relevant for intelligent people that recognize that apostrophes
 and quotes, spaces, slashes, and other cli-significant characters dont
 belong in filenames to begin with., and if for some reason they encounter
 such a file, automatically rename away the offending characters.

 Personally, I'd be happy if all unix-based filesystems automatically
 converted such characters to single dots anytime they were used.

 Sane characters to use in filenames: Alphabetic a thru z (Upper and
 lowercase), numberic digits, dash, underscore, colon, plus, tilde and dot.

 Characters only idiots or morons use: spaces, slashes, ticks, quotes,
 asterisk, dollar-sign, commas, pipes, greater/less than, ampersand, etc.
