#1853: "tahoe cp" breaks when files have a : char in their names
-------------------------------+---------------------------

 Priority:  normal             |      Milestone:  undecided
Component:  code-frontend-cli  |        Version:  1.9.2

-------------------------------+---------------------------
 I'm not sure how to fix this. I don't want tahoe to refuse to process my
 files which have {{{:}}} in their names, much less to attempt to do
 something incorrect and potentially destructive, should the prefix of such
 a file happen to match a tahoe alias. The fact that I have to squeeze my
 caps and filenames into the same namespace with aliases — a feature that I
 don't like and don't use — is frustrating to me.
