I have a suggestion, and that is to allow detainting of data via a new string 
expansion called detaint.${detaint{<string>}{<charlist>}}Idea is that you 
supply the string you want detainted, and a "permitted character list" where 
all characters not on that list will be deleted.However, <charlist> must be 
untainted. Would even be better to completely disable string expansion for 
<charlist>.Example:if $domain contains 
"sebbe.eu/../../../../etc/passwd"then${detaint{$domain}{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789_-.}}will
 return:sebbe.eu........etcpasswdin detainted form - which will be safe to use 
as a filenameOF COURSE its the system administrator's resposibility to supply a 
character list that is "safe" for the use case of said tainted data.Since of 
the new stricter taint rules, system administrators shouldn't need to specify 
complete domain whitelists, its better to allow for "any domain" as long as 
this "any domain" is scrubbed from any unsafe data.
