Slugging algorithm or library code in scala

Question

Is there a good slugging algorithm or library out there to take a String of possibly all sorts of punctuation etc and convert it into a nice clean slug for a URL? Even better if the Play Framework has one already ;)

thanks, not quite the same thing really, that is encoding all special chars as %... what I need is something to just create a human readable slug out of some text. — saintlyRook, Mar 28 '14 at 17:33

I took the method from Play 1 and copied it to a module:
