Is there a list of characters that should not be used in the "save to disk" templates.
I know some are forbidden as : that will be converted into _ when saving a file to disk (export).
Is there some list of forbidden or a list of "not recommended" characters?

Example
What if I want to use straight brackets [] as a separator in fields? Can this be a problem for some file system later?

Code:

{author_sort:}{series:| [|}{series_index:||]}{title:| - |}

Saving a file as:

Code:

Doe, John [Series-03] - Book Title.pdf
