Comment:

 From my perspective (as a bug discoverer) the most important thing at this
 moment is to fix problem with commas, described in this ticket. Last patch
 added by me is for this particular issue.

 Underscores are already supported (\w includes letters, digits and
 underscores). The problem may be with remaining chars - parenthesises,
 apostrophe and asterisk - in particular we need to escape parenthesises
 and asterisk because they have special meaning in RegExp. Therefore I
 suggest to evaluate and apply my patch now, and submit another ticket to
 cover remaining chars. They are not commonly used in URLs as other
 characters, so they may wait a bit more :).
