I've seen many sites that refuse '+', but for now, no site that refuses
'-'. unfortunately, I am not happy with using '-' because:

- many french names have a '-': "jean-pierre", ...
- '-' is used in mailing-lists

up so far, I have pcre maps for specific users to alias joe-ext to
joe+ext. but I will be moving to using '-' with a subdomain:
        joe-extens...@silly.$domain
where "joe" is necessarily '-' free (so jean-pierre would be jpierre,
...etc. while he could complain for the "normal" domain, he can't
complain for @silly.$domain, since this is done to help him).
