Description

Per this thread, and this thread on the dev forums and geode documentation, region names may only consist of alphanumeric characters, an underscore, and a hyphen. These rules are not enforced.

E.g., it is possible to create a region with:
gfsh> create region --name=not^good --type=REPLICATE

Some of these regions may be removed with the destroy command, while others cannot be located.
