"no"

What kind of trouble? Just don't create a file w/ this name - or rename them.
Neither NTFS nor the ntfs3 driver should struggle with that. It's a limitation of windows, not the filesystem.

I know it's just a limitation of windows, but I would like arch to throw me an error in case I create a file that I won't be able to deal with in windows.
