Quotes in mailbox names

Hi,
 
I posted this 
question a few weeks ago but never got any answers...  
:(
 
The Cyrus server does not support quotes in mailbox 
names.  Is there any good reason for that?  Can I just add a 
quote to GOODCHARS in mboxname.c or will this cause all sorts of 
problems?
 
I tried this simple modification in mboxname.c (the 
only difference is the single quote) :
 
458c458< #define GOODCHARS " 
+,-.'0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~"---> 
#define GOODCHARS " 
+,-.0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~"
And everything seems 
to be working fine (plus I can create folders with single quotes in their 
name).  However, there might be a good reason why some characters are not 
legal and my modification in mboxname.c might have some repercussions I don't 
know about.
 
Can anybody tell me 
if they made a similar modification or tell me that they know this is not a good 
idea?
 
I want to enable 
quotes in a mailbox name because our users should be able to use Bynari's 
Insight Connector with the french version of Outlook.  In the french 
version of Outlook, the "Outbox" folder is named "Boîte d'envoi" (it can't be 
renamed) and I currently get an error each time I try to synchronise my local 
folders with the IMAP server (something like "can't create Boîte d'envoi on the 
server").
 
Thanks.
