Features ntfs-illegal characters in feed titles (rename testing)

Interesting side note

WSL has solved the issue of "illegal character on NTFS but not on standard linux fs" by switching illegal characters out on a one-to-one basis with characters in unicode's private use area. E.g. asterisks are replaced by "\uf02a". All the private use area characters are represented as little dots in Windows Explorer. Inside of WSL they are obviously translated back into their "true form". Copy and paste the private character into e.g. ipython and the result will be some completely other representation.
