[Bug 543478] Re: qemus pmemsave doesn't accept "/" in filename

[Muelli]

Eh. Well. I'm a bit surprised that you won't allow forward slashes if
you try to parse a path. It's actually a quite common character in the
Linux world. Even other Unixes use it for separating components of a
path. And since people use it so much, it should be as easy as possible
to actually give a path to qemu. The excuse that it "is used to create
special expressions" (which, btw?!) doesn't hold. I'm pretty confident
that people use the '/' character to separate components of a path
rather than doing "special expressions". Especially when a path the a
file is expected! So if there are still "special expressions" needed in
a path, it'd be better to select a different character.

Even if you don't agree on that, I really believe the user deserves some
explanation along with the error message that is printed as I've pointed
out in comment #0.
