It just occurred to me that we could use a space.  That character
must not be part of an option name and therefore is taboo for
the dump options, and even if we could make it part of a dump
file name it would be a rather odd thing to do; on the other hand,
it will look fine both in the source code and when printing out
the name for debug purposes.
Also, it gives us good portability across character sets.
