I think both [:print:] and .* would be too radical, as I'm not sure
including control characters and arbitrary whitespace will not break
something.  But maybe [:graph:] is better than [:alnum:].

In any case, I think we want a comment there saying that this is to
allow more characters in file names shown in the prompt.

Thanks.
