in all our projects we normalize to a-z and a dash, otherwise you

I totally agree. In my own projects I do the same. The question is rather: is
context supposed to support the "*" in filenames, or not.

it depends ... in some places I process patterns and then the * is special in lua so for the moment consider '*' and '?' and such are 'not to be used in filenames'
