Better also let path through the underscore '_':


#define EXTENSION_MARKER        '.' /* Let through the 'full-stop' */
#define BLANK_MARKER    '_'             /* Let through the
'underscore' */


        inline static
LString toAsciiAlnum(LString const &string)
{
        LString tmp(string);
        for (int i = 0; i < tmp.length(); i++) {
                tmp[i] &= MASK_RANGE;   /* make test result
                                        ** foreseeable */
                if ( !( isalnum(tmp[i]) ) && tmp[i] != BLANK_MARKER
                                        && tmp[i] != EXTENSION_MARKER )
                        tmp[i] = REPLACER;
        }
        return tmp;
}
