I think I'll defer to Jeremy's judgement on this on.
Why can't we just mangle them by default ?  I expect
the performance hit would be high since it would involve
check each and every filename we return.

On second thought.  I'm much more prone not to do anything
an leave the responsibility on the admin for dealing with
these types of things.
