Comment (by norcross):

 I agree that it could turn into a rabbit-hole scenario, but some base-
 level ones that are common usage should be considered. even some basic
 ones that strip all letters or all numbers would save the oft annoying
 process of writing regex (which considering there are multiple ways to get
 the same result, breeds inconsistency)
