The other thought I had, the brute force approach, is to just escape
every character in the string (ie convert each character to a %??). I
suppose I could get a little creative and not touch any numbers or
letters, just everything below ascii 48, above ascii 57 and below
ascii 65. Above ascii 90 and below ascii 97, and above ascii 122.
Wonder if there is a regex that could do this for me?
