Special characters for filename #451

@chinyeungli

Description

@chinyeungli

The current spec allows the following symbols: "_", "-", "+", ".", "(", ")", "~", "[", "]", "{", "}"
https://github.com/nexB/aboutcode-toolkit/blob/develop/SPECIFICATION.rst#about-file-name

However, I am still able to generate ABOUT files with ! and @, but it fails when doing attrib.
Note that ! is likely not allowed in linux system, but @ seems is accepted in both linux and windows as filename
Should we allow more special characters for filename?
