how would you do that?

re validation - we only have to validate the syntax of usernames when
writing them into the database. we don't have to validate them when
they are used in queries. the only code change we'd have to make is
adding a regex to the ui validators and to the User model. explaining
this restriction to users would probably be more complicated.
