Rename with Slashes in the Name

I attempted (with unaccountable idiocy - after half a lifetime of software development) to rename a C4 song file to a name with slashes:

RenameError1

Any third-grader would probably see the stupidity of naming a file so that it looks like a directory path … but the error message I got was not so helpful:

RenameError2

This would be a lowwww-priority issue for @brad and Cantabile … but …

In the interest of newbies, would it be prudent to disallow input characters with a filter on this field that are not allowed by the file system? Or maybe a more specific message like:

“You idiot - That’s not a legal file name on this system”

… or maybe a kinder, gentler version …

Better?

(will be in build 4117)
