Why the restriction on special chars in a wildcard pattern?

Why is the restriction on special chars in a wildcard pattern needed?

lexpy/lexpy/_utils.py

Line 14 in b69e029

__illegal_characters_re = r'[^\w?*]+'

Thanks @melsabagh-kw

These were added in version 0.1 of lexpy. Maybe it does not make sense.

Let me think about this a bit and I will soon release a new version of lexpy where this will be addressed

This is fixed in lexpy=1.0.0

pip install lexpy==1.0.0

Please test it and let me know if you have any questions.
