 {{{$wpdb->prefix}}} ({{{$table_prefix}}} in {{{wp-config.php}}}) has a
 {{{[a-zA-Z0-9_]}}} restriction, but it is not enforced.  Characters out of
 this range will make WP spew errors.  We should gracefully die and explain
 why.

 We also should proabbly only enforce that if no alternate {{{db.php}}}
 file is in use.

 Matt/Ryan, can we get 2.0.7 added as a version and 2.0.8 added as a
 milestone in Trac?
