I plan to add a new attribute: extra_word_characters.
It is the opposite (or something) to valid_punctuation, it marks a
(possibly) non-alphanumeric as a valid word-character.
This way (and no other I know of), I can make "_" characters part of
words, and searchable as such.
A (hopefully) positive side-effect is that people having problems making
their systems understand their locale (i.e. it is broken in that it
handles everything as the "C" locale) can state characters here that the
locale would normally handle.
Examples:
extra_word_characters: _
extra_word_characters: "åäöÅÄÖ"
(If you didn't get the last one, don't worry.)
Specifying characters handled by the locale as isalpha would be a no-op.
Comments welcome.
