extension is to allow special characters to be passed to the alphaNumeric
function as an optional second parameter, such as Sanitize::paranoid
accepts. I create my own versions of the same to slap into AppModel until
the framework supports the common case.

> I can't think of many good examples when to use this and why a simple
regex wouldn't do fine. When you start adding characters to the
alphanumeric rule, it wouldn't be very alphanumeric right?
[[BR]]
Mostly because I wouldn't like typing
{{{'/^[\p{Ll}\p{Lm}\p{Lo}\p{Lt}\p{Lu}\p{Nd} ]+$/mu'}}} once for every
different rule I'll be using, with the exception of a character or two.
I'm currently using these rules for address and name, as a shorthand for a
fairly bothersome regex.

Though I admit that we don't always want to lock down a system entirely,
occasionally CakePHP's email validation regex,
{{{'/^[a-z0-9!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9][-a-z0-9]*\.)*(?:[a-z0-9][-a-z0-9]{0,62})\.(?:(?:[a-z]{2}\.)?[a-z]{2,4}|museum|travel)$/i'}}},
can be nice to have.
