Won't some of those changes potential mess up substitutions, and code where
some of those symbols might be used currently as separators between lists of
paramters?

Subject: Autosave ignores PVs starting with some characters

Hi Tim,
I recently came across the following issue with Autosave: PV names starting
with '_' did not get saved. Comparing the source code with the list of
allowed characters (see chapter 6.3 General Rules for Database Definition of
the Application Developers Manual) revealed that all PVs starting with one
of the following characters will not be saved:

'_', '-', ':', '.', '[', ']', '<', '>', ';'

They make it into the automatically generated .req file but not into the
.sav file. The attached patch fixes the problem for me.

Thanks!

Martin
