slug
Converts a string to a URL-friendly slug.
It lowercases the text, drops anything that is not an ASCII letter, digit, or dot, and joins the remaining words with single hyphens. A dot is preserved only when it sits between two digits, so version numbers like "4.5" survive while sentence punctuation does not. Note that non-ASCII letters (accented or non-Latin, e.g. "é" or "日") are removed rather than transliterated, so use it on text that is already mostly ASCII.
