The Wikipedia says "the space and the period are not allowed as the
final character of a filename". To me, this means a filename like
"filename.ext " or "filename.ext." would not be acceptable but says
nothing about "filename .ext" or "filename..ext" which seem to me like
valid filenames. Then again, I don't use Windows.
