 (This is a follow-up to https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/12531)

 If a name of a manually registered test contains one of the test filter
 metacharacters, it might lead to problems when it's passed via the
 --run_test command line argument. The list of characters which cause that
 problem includes at least ",*@+!/". I suggest sanitizing these characters
 similar to how ':' and ' ' are sanitized right now.
