Just FYI, Twitter screen names are not (or, apparently, didn't use to
be) restricted to 0-9A-Z-_

<id>6295462</id>
<screen_name>Magic carpet1</screen_name>

<id>3939231</id>
<screen_name>Walking the dog2</screen_name>

<id>92595586</id>
<screen_name>Its mine\nM2</screen_name>

We're also seeing non-ASCII in some other screen names.  (Though we
don't currently know what they are... we just know they exist! ;)

We're assuming this is a vestige of long ago coding?

It does screw up our desire to use ascii char(15) in db...

Maybe Twitter can fix?
