I agree. The proposal looks like an exceedingly ugly way to proceed.
Further, if the objective for having "one of [$%@:&]" is to allow mount(8)
(as distinct from mount_xxx) to guess which "xxx" to use to run mount_xxx
then just NO. Apart from anything else, why 5 special chars, what happened
to # ^ ! { } | ...? But even if everything non alpha-numeric was made
special, that would still never be enough for future potential needs.
Keep the -t to specify xxx and use it, and once you've made that decision,
adding a suitable -o (whatever xxx needs) is no issue at all.
