Yes. I thought the same when I reviewed your code. A little code 
duplication could be avoided,  and all of them would be available in any 
editor. A detail that would be good is what ends the escaped sequence. 
In your code it is a space. In Luciano's it is anything but a letter. 
Perhaps anything that but #isAlphaNumeric makes sense.

That would be nice. Not sure how complicated it would be, though.
