Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/335

Currently firejail whitelist fails with the following letters:
[](){}
Unfortunately though, these letters are often used by some cultures, like for example torrent video files. It'd be nice if firejail supported those [names].

This is a delicate topic though, suggestions or criticism welcome. For example, I personally would not include & or $ as good file names.

Any update on this? The #216 ticket does not address special characters [](){}...
