Here is a fix to something which has annoyed the bejezus out of me
ever since we got hack, which is that you can only genocide monsters
whose symbols are letters. I have had desires to genocide daemons,
for example, but couldn't because the check for validity of input was
not to see if it was a known monster character, but just if it was
an upper or lower case letter or a '@'. Here is the context diff to
fix it.
