Several calc records allow variable names, like $left, $target, etc.  Transform for sure.

Which CALC allows names? The CALC expressions in calc, calcout, access
security, etc only allow predefined function names and field variables
A,B,C,...

If you have a CALC that allows record names as arguments, quote names
containing special chars.

I do not think that we need to turn records and PVA stucture field names
into C code, do we?

Title:
  Invalid charactor in field name

Status in EPICS Base:
  New

Bug description:
  When creating a group in QSRV, the allowed characters are too
  restrictive

  error:
  Error Group not created: Invalid charactor '-' (45) in field name "BI02-TimeRise" must be A-Z, a-z, 0-9, or '_'

  expected behaviour:
  pva structures should allow for a more liberal set of characters that just what is covered by \w regex metacharacter.
