* Check filenames against an allow-list of characters
(to filter out control characters, confusables, foreign path separators,
and so on).
* Check for platform-specific filename semantics. For example, on Windows
some names can have reserved meanings.
* Check that filenames have expected extensions (discouraging files that
execute when you “click on them”, or extension-less files like Windows
special device names).
