Security fixes are back; other fixes can go in. Time for build 18?

Do you know whether this was for names or e-mail addresses?  It sounds
more like the latter.  Being able to refer to the unlikely personage
of Andrew1 but not someone who happens to have an accent of some form

What language is this? Maybe we can fix it blindly.  Even grep
supports a locale-dependent [:alpha:] range in place of [A-Za-z0-9].
