I have a generic descriptive title of a parameter and want to express it as a variable name within a script.
So if my title is "No more awesome today, please!" I will likely render this as "no-more-awesome-today-please" ( I can define the separator style).
I am targeting about 20 or so scripting languages so the range of what each will deem is a valid variable name is rather wide.
However I would like to deliver a reasonable default rendering.
Dealing with English seems not too troublesome but titles composed in other languages might be a different matter.
My current thinking is, regardless of the language, is to exclude all characters that are not members of NSCharacterSet + (id)letterCharacterSet.
Is + (id)letterCharacterSet the best choice here?
