From what I have seen '-' seems to be ok at least for some implementations.
There may be other safe characters too. In fact the ReadyTalk implementation
replaces spaces with '-'.
https://github.com/ReadyTalk/metrics-statsd/blob/master/metrics-statsd-common/src/main/java/com/readytalk/metrics/StatsD.java#L129
I'm sure many other characters are ok too. The main ones that need to be
escaped are ones that have special meaning in the statsd format.
