Issue #24 fix character classes
Fixes #24. Apart from including the missing characters (z, Z, and 9) in their respective classes and filters, this change should yield equal results as the upstream version.
I didn't want to change the functionality drastically not to break existing code, but this trait is actually reinventing the character classes already available on Scala's Char class. These include isLower, isUpper, toLower, isLetter,isDigit`, etc.
I would suggest deprecating this trait and use the following existing alternatives (compatible with the StringTransform type):
_.filter(_.isLetter)instead offilterAlpha_.filterNot(_.isLetter)instead offilterNotAlpha_.filter(_.isDigit)instead offilterNumeric_.filterNot(_.isDigit)instead offilterNotNumeric_.filter(_.isLetterOrDigit)instead offilterAlphaNumeric_.filterNot(_.isLetterOrDigit)instead offilterNotAlphaNumeric_.filter(_.isLower)instead offilterLowerCase_.filterNot(_.isLower)instead offilterNotLowerCase_.filter(_.isUpper)instead offilterUpperCase_.filterNot(_.isUpper)instead offilterNotUpperCase_.map(_.toLower)instead ofignoreAlphaCase
They are not equivalent, but they are part of the standard library, and I would argue that they are much more accurate than the existing filters.
