> Does that mean that you don't need any option for stripping out extended characters from object names then?

Well, I'd say it's always a good idea to filter them out but thats more from a general perspective. At one point or another they'll cause problems in a pipeline and to be honest, no one needs them.

So it would be a nice feature to have that option, yes. Do I absolutly need it right now? No, because I can alternatively remove names entirely and that's good enough for me.
