It is our policy that arguments should be alphanumeric. This is
because they can be used to id records or access the file system and
we do not worry you to have to worry about validating then. This does
not mean you cannot have "c++" in a URL. It just means you must use
routes to map an arg into a var.:
routes_in =[('/app/c/f/$anything','/app/c/f/data=$anything')]
