Hi,

I just noticed "/" is not a valid character for a task's name. Probably
something to do with the clever use that xeno makes of the /proc
filesystem. Anyway:

1- Are there any other "forbidden" characters?

2- Does this limitation apply to the other named objects?

3- Shouldn't those characters be internally escaped somehow to overcome
this limitation?

4- If (2) is not possible, shouldn't this limitation be mentioned in the
API documentation.

Thanks.
