When trying to use a VLAN device (e.g. "em0.123") with a dot the library fails to parse the interface correctly. The former pattern is much too restrictive given that almost all characters can be coerced into a device name via ifconfig. To prevent too much back and forth change the approach to limit exclusion to special characters used in the library's syntax. The list is perhaps too wide as we are only looking for interface name boundary characters, but may also be missing others. This decision is best left to the library authors.

When trying to use a VLAN device (e.g. "em0.123") with a dot the library fails to parse the interface correctly. The former pattern is much too restrictive given that almost all characters can be coerced into a device name via ifconfig. Remove the particularly restrictive validation. Some characters still cannot be used as an interface name as they are used as delimiters in the syntax, but this allows to be able to use most of them without an issue.
