  "The patch is ok.

I have just one issue with the new regular expression:

The regexp in the patch is a bit bulky and probably always incomplete, because there are a lot more special characters than included in the regexp.

In my understanding the regular expression should convert all non-letter-characters to a white space. 
What was the problem with the original regular expression([^\w]+)? Did it not work propperly with cyrillic letters?
If this is the case I would try a unicode sensitive regular expression ([^p{Alphabetic}]+).
