Invalid characters should not be allowed in Layouts name
Try saving a layout with a name like "?layout". The result is the following ugly error and the layout is not saved:
"File Library/Unused/516cf89f8ab492e439d4acbbd1985508 couldn't be written. Because moving C:/Users/UTQA/Documents/New Unity Project 18/Temp/tempFile to C:/Users/UTQA/AppData/Roaming/Unity/Editor-4.x/Preferences/Layouts\what?.wlt failed.
UnityEditorInternal.InternalEditorUtility:SaveToSerializedFileAndForget(Object[], String)
UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI()"
Expected: we should not allow invalid/unsupported characters to be typed in the layout's name when saving it

Still present in 5.3 (specifically with colon, on Windows - colons are desirable in layout names for reference to aspect ratios!)
