That was my first thought too.

I am using John Rose's algorithm for encoding "invalid" method names,
and it has worked great for us. We use them also for the actual name
of the method, which means they can show up a bit unusual in stack
traces, but otherwise the encoding is very simple to use.

Here's the logic in JRuby for encoding and decoding, based on John's logic:
