If you manage to get old enough, you're bound to see many things. An
underscore in a file name means you can't copy and paste that name into
a LaTeX document. The undersore is a special character and needs to be
escaped. I'm currently working on an edition where the names of image
files have to be listed in the captions.

Then there is the much used commercial GIS package, where you can't habe
a hyphen in database variable names, as that is invariably read as a
minus in search and other terms.
