Client name requirements are too restrictive

[nus-se-script]

Currently client name requirements are too restrictive as they only allow for alphanumeric characters and spaces. This means that some common name formats, especially in Singapore, will not be accepted.

For instance, 's/o' or 'd/o' are common for names of Singaporeans who are Indian. However, the application doesnt accept this as a valid name

Steps to reproduce:

1. add --name=Theodore Koo s/o Charles --phone=98001715 --email=theodore@example.com --addr=Prince Street, Block 144, #19-14 --tags=Disabled --note=Lactose Intolerant

Resultant output:

Team's Response

There is a work-around which is to save the full name in the notes.

Another work-around is to say "son of" or "daughter of" instead of "s/o" or "d/o".

This enhancement is of lower priority than what we had planned for in V1.4 as it would've altered the behavior of the application during the feature freeze period.
