Based on what I understand of the technical issues, and what Tom posted
earlier, it seems that arch won't support arbitrary filename characters
_soon_, but there's no particular reason why it can't do so eventually
(there doesn't seem to be any great technical hurdle, just attention to
getting all the details right).

Eh, I think that's kind of unfair to Tom. I'd characterize him
(and sorry to speak about you in the 3rd person like this Tom!) as
generally fairly easy-going, but occasionally flips out -- i.e., a damn
sight better than most of the brilliant-assholes you often find on
free-software/open-source mailing lists (the BSD lists are rather famous
for such people).
I've seen the famous email-that-resulted-in-arx, and yeah, it's quite
unfair and absurd -- but I don't think it's typical.
