There is no reason to reject those IDs other than spoiling the fun we're

Since QOM is treating '/' specially in paths, and uses IDs as path
components, it should reject '/' in IDs. Same reasoning as for file
names.
I agree; however I don't think it buys anything to do that in HMP rather
than further down the call chain, because in the end there are other
ways to get "anti-social" ids than HMP or the command line. I commented
on Kevin's object-add series about this issue.

We already restrict IDs to "letters, digits, '-', '.', '_', starting
with a letter" in several places, including QemuOpts. We should do that
more, not less.
Permitting arbitrary IDs buys us nothing but trouble.
