I know that there are ten different alternatives. Why don’t we simply improve the basic stuff?

    Makes CLI involving the space a pain. Use an underscore if you must have a visual space, but best practices would be to use Camel Case, no punctuation (including spaces), and include the date in Gregorian format CCYYMMDD

    I don’t know if any given system shall issues or could handle it fine, but I know some systems cannot handle spaces in file names. There is no reason to tempt fate.

        It is a filename not a PR press release. How it looks is irrelevant to how the system handles it. Want the display to show something other than the file name is easy and doesn’t risk errors, unlike punctuation in filenames which creates problems and solves none.
