Comment(by miqrogroove):

 -1 invalid.  Filename escaping is the responsibility of the API, which is
 PHP in this case.  Tested and confirmed:

 {{{copy('index.php', 'inde^^x.php');}}}

 PHP creates a file named {{{inde^^x.php}}}, as expected.  If there were a
 legitimate problem here, it would have created a file named
 {{{inde^x.php}}}.
