No dependency. \W [^\w] and [^a-zA-Z0-9] will all work in all CFML
versions/engines worth worrying about
They are all standard regex constructs.
However, it is worth pointing out that \w has a slightly different meaning
amongst different regex engines - it means "word character", rather than
"alphanumeric".
In CFML/rereplace it is treated as [a-zA-Z0-9_] (not the underscore).
However, in some flavours of regex \w will accept accented/etc characters (e.g.
á ç ÿ ) - so if this code was used in something other than CFML, you might need
to use the version that explicitly specifies standard letters+digits.
