Could GOODCHARS be user-defined, in imapd.conf for example ?  It could
default to the current constant.  IIRC, the RFC only forbid NUL and your
hierarchy separator, so theorically any other character could be
acceptable.

I currently don't have the time nor the skill to implement that, but I
may in the future if it is required for my current installation.
