Description

Would it be possible to update line 170:

CLASS_NAMES_RE = re.compile(r"^[a-z0-9.\s_-]*$") # This one can't contain a comma!

in:
https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit/blob/master/prompt_toolkit/styles/style.py

to support lower and UPPER case letters?

I like to create style tag names that use upper case letters for colors (R for Red, G for Green, etc.)

Thanks,
/jim

Research direction

Open prompt_toolkit/styles/style.py and inspect line 170, where CLASS_NAMES_RE is defined. Confirm how style tag names are validated, then update the accepted characters so uppercase letters are supported alongside the existing names; done means style tags using uppercase color letters are accepted.
