I thought of that one as well, but I didn't know if the other one was 
more cheaper and sufficient already...

That depends of course if you're working with strings you need the 
NSCharacterSets, if you are working with BCSymbols, the idea would be 
to use a BCSymbolSet instead of going the string-way again. Anyway, 
during file import it's the first I believe from your example...
