[osis-core] OSIS work regex

[Todd Tillinghast]

What extra value does the "_" give us?

Are you proposing Bible_.TEV_ ?

Or just that "_" would be an option as in
Bible.Todd_New_And_Different_Reference_System ?

I can see "_" as an allowable character as long as it is not the leading
character but don't see any value in having it as an additional
delimiter to ".".
