Conceptually, yes, but the pattern /[[^a-zA-Z0-9_].-]/ isn't going to give
you what you seem to expect if you were to actually try to use it. \w, \W,
\d, \D, and friends are magic like that; they behave like character classes
outside of character classes, and they integrate into a class within a
character class, despite the lack of any sort of nested character class
syntax (yet), like you show.
