Unfortunately, my real world set has a lot of combined alpha/number
strings.  These are search engine strings like 10hp motor, 500gpm pump,
step ladder 6ft, etc.  

People are very lazy with their spacing when entering queries into
search engines.

This doesn't catch 'r2d2' . It only gets the words that are entirely
made up
of numbers.
