Names that Windows doesn't support

I am using straight.el as package manager. And I can't install this package due to Windows limitations.

$ cd "c:/ProgramData/chocolatey/bin/"
$ "cmd" "/c" "mklink" "c:\Users\vashcali\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d\runtime-artifacts\straight\build\yasnippet-snippets\snippets\rust-mode\closure" "c:\Users\vashcali\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d\runtime-artifacts\straight\repos\yasnippet-snippets\snippets\rust-mode\closure"

Ah interesting, would you like to make a PR @Armoken ? Would be easier for you to test if your changes make it work since I don't have windows available to check if I've done it right. You can just rename things like "string=" to "string_equal" for example, I don't really mind much about the filename, if the snippet also has a key set, which you should not need to change.

If it does not have a key however we should rename and set the :key to what's the current filename is.

@AndreaCrotti Ok, I will try to do it soon

I just tried to install the package on windows with just package-install btw and it worked fine, so I wonder if it's something to do with straight.el instead of Windows?
