Specifically,

    For security reasons, this filename will be ignored if it
    begins with the character '/', '.', '|', or '!', or if it
    contains the character '%'.

Is that necessary?  Esp. with any of the non-default -clobber
settings.

Would adding a switch to skip that check and allow any filename
help?
