I wonder if the restricted names are still with us in ReFS? I don't have one handy to check it on, but it seems like if there were ever a good time to break backwards-compatibiliy, ReFS would be it.

The restriction isn't in the filesystem. You can mount an NTFS filesystem on a Linux box, create a file called "aux.c", then mount that filesystem on Windows.

  With default mount options you can even create files/folders named foo\bar.
