I don't think we should remove these just because BibTeX doesn't support
them.  They might be used as keys by other citation databases, and
removing them might break them.

The syntax of KEYs (except for `&') is wholly borrowed from Pandoc,
which I figured had a reason for permitting those characters.  Note that
Pandoc reads reference databases in a lot of different formats,
including MODS, EndNote, etc., which might be more liberal with symbols
in keys:

http://pandoc.org/README.html#citations

So unless we decide we don't want to support people who use these
formats, I suggest we be more liberal here, too.  This won't cause a
problem for BibTeX users. 

Best,
Richard
