To be honest I never understood why there was a limitation in gas
on the characters usable for symbol names.

Of course (not having looked at the patch in any detail) one question
is how you (want to) deal with non-printable characters (potentially
encode-able via backslash escapes), since some are being used by
gas internally (on the assumption that user provided symbol names
can't contain them).
