Bug Description

I recently installed drizzle for the students in our university and I use the simple-user-policy plugin so they can create their own databases. The problem is that their username include a "." (inherited from a Windows Domain) and creation of databases with dots is not allowed. There is a workaround to use backticks "``" but it would be better if the user could replace the "." with "_" in the database name. Henrik Ingo (hingo) suggested that this is trivial to implement.

It would be good to make this option configurable (and maybe disabled by default).
