Allow regex-based stopwords

[asongtoruin]

Less of an issue and more of a feature request - I was wondering whether it would be plausible to allow for regex-based stopwords? The thought being that if you have a body of text with some consistent part you want to remove (e.g. stage directions, twitter usernames, email addresses), it might be easier to remove them with a pattern in stopwords rather than trying to catch each one individually?

Happy to have a look at this myself over the next few weeks if it's something that you think would be helpful.

Thanks!

You could just remove them with a regex before passing the text to wordcloud. Sent from phone. Please excuse spelling and brevity.
