Unless you only ever deal with "Unix folk", it's not /that/ uncommon to
encounter filenames which are essentially complete sentences, punctuation
included.
FWIW, I've found that a significant proportion of "why can't I burn this
file to a CD" queries are because the Joliet extension to ISO-9660 "only"
allows 64 characters in a filename.
