Obvious ones like ":" and "/" come to mind to check, but there may be
others? Also, it would ensure that the character limit on filenames is
not exceeded.
Has this been done as an NSFormatter? Or in some other manner?
I don't know of an NSFormatter that does that, but if you decide to roll
your own, NSString's -getFileSystemRepresentation:maxLength: method
might be useful. The characters you want to look for will vary,
according to the filesystem in use at the given path, and this method
takes that into account.
