Mainly because CircleMUD doesn't have a 'strip_string()' function and any
OLC system added will not necessarily do the transformation. OasisOLC may
be changed to do that, but that doesn't mean everyone else will. Although
if you think about it, nothing in stock CircleMUD cares about a ~ either.

My way (strchr) works better. :)
I think it's best done by the OLC package actually.
