I am always wary of allowing dots in anything.  Allowing dots and
thereby also allowing ".." is the origin of many vectors.  This doesn't
necessarily mean that it's a problem here, but it's the reason I usually
exclude periods from.

Another is that I want to be able to move foo to foo.disabled or
foo.bak, and have it not get picked up.

I could see adding underscores and hyphens, to match run-parts.
