All the digits of course.  a set of all lowercaser letters.  Basic
puncuation and math symbols.  I think a lambda, sigma, pi, and theta
characters would also be good. A capital D.  Well, the main thing is
the alphanumerics and basic math and punctuation symbals.  It's not
like it is really hard to make them.  Just a pain to do them all when
the exist already.
