Im afraid that was deliberate

we try and discriminate between worthless words (mostly junk) and useful 
ones.

For our parser to correctly discriminate an indexable word it must start 
with a utf-8 alpha character or underscore - all others are presumed 
junk including those that start with numbers.

I could change this maybe just for filenames?
