title: Is it possible to give a regex as a 3rd argument to maketrans()?
body: <p>As far as I know <code>maketrans()</code> can take up to three args.</p>
  <p>In this case, the 3rd argument stands for characters that will be mapped to nothing. Is there a way to give a regex there?</p>
  <p>The reason I am asking is because I'd like to be able to take advantage of the method's ability to map some characters to some other characters at the same time (the usage of the first two args).</p>
