Let's say I have a Django site being hosted on a Windows machine with an
NTFS file system, and this site has a model with a `FileField`. Now let's
say I access this site from a Mac and upload a file named "foo*bar" (note
the asterisk in the middle). What would happen when Django tries to write
that file to disk on the Windows machine, given that asterisks are not
allowed on NTFS file systems? I don't think the answer to that question is
documented anywhere, though I may have just overlooked it. And if Django
allows that filename by default, I wonder if it would make sense to
provide a way to strip out characters like that (see
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename#Reserved_characters_and_words this
table]).
