Actually, what would be nicely functional and general purpose would be a
pair of options, one to prevent the creation of files/directories with a
leading-dot name, the other a full isprint() filter on the whole string.
And for each option, the ability to apply that filtering to all users or
only anon users.
(So why am I kvetching instead of coding and submitting? 'cause I'm still
struggling my way up the nearly-vertical side of the cvs learning curve.)
