But if you're automatically creating ids from text people have typed in
(and they'll never need to know the id's) it seems nicer to me for the
id to be automatically mangled to what it needs to be ratehr than
throwing a confusign error (which doesn't actually tell you which
character(s) are not allowed, IIRC)
