That's very nice for demonstration, but maybe we would like to tighten
this up a bit for the next revsision?

I personally would be happy with A-Za-z0-9, - and +.

Comments?

Is there any harm in allowing "morally_indefensible_subtype#1289"?

Do not uselessly lament your luck that is giving way, your work that has
failed, your life's plans that have all ended in despair.  Like a man long
prepared, like a man of courage, bid her farewell, the Alexandria that
leaves you.
