I'm basically fine with removing other separator characters. However for
Finnish this needs to be a manual change (not scripted) because we have
one case where underscore character is used so that there are
two versions of the same function: another with dot and another
with underscore: HYPERGEOM_JAKAUMA and HYPERGEOM.JAKAUMA. This messy
situation (caused by trying to be compatible with translated names
in some old version of Excel) needs to be dealt with first.

Accented characters Ä and Ö should be allowed for Finnish. They are
also used in formula names in Finnish version of Excel. I fear that
removing them would simply be considered a regression by most users.

Thanks for asking feedback!
