Hi all,

We recently added some safeguards around entity names [1].

As I mentioned before [2], I think we could go a bit further and
forbid characters that most cloud providers either forbid, or strongly
advise against.

These are:

- Control characters
- Backslash `\`
- Path segments equal to `.` or `..`
- Commonly discouraged symbols: * ? " < > | #

I opened a PR recently to implement this suggestion [3].

What do you all think?

Thanks,
Alex
