No, macOS will just put quotes in the name. I just saved file from vscode as "testfile.sql", including the quotes, and wound up with a file named "testfile.sql".s.

That's a great way to drive someone insane.

1. Put some of the forbidden symbols in the file names of, let's say, a bunch of photos.

2. ZIP them

3. Send to someone who ordered those photos with Windows/Linux computer.

4. An hour later tell them that everything works on your computer and you don't see the problem. As a bonus you can film unpacking the zip file and saying: "You see, it works. There's something wrong with your computer".

Wow. Coming from DOS times, supporting double quotes in a filename is wild. I _still_ tend not to use whitespaces in filenames!

pretty common on UNIXes; you can also have forward slashes in filenames. They just have to be escaped to differentiate.
