    Object to validate a list of strings to use as field names.

The strings are stripped of any non alphanumeric character, and spaces

    of names to exclude, as well as a list of invalid characters. Names in
    the exclusion list are appended a '_' character.

Once an instance has been created, it can be called with a list of
    names, and a list of valid names will be created.  The `__call__`
    method accepts an optional keyword "default" that sets the default name
    in case of ambiguity. By default this is 'f', so that names will
    default to `f0`, `f1`, etc.

Parameters
    ----------
    excludelist : sequence, optional
        A list of names to exclude. This list is appended to the default
        list ['return', 'file', 'print']. Excluded names are appended an
        underscore: for example, `file` becomes `file_` if supplied.
    deletechars : str, optional
        A string combining invalid characters that must be deleted from the
        names.
    case_sensitive : {True, False, 'upper', 'lower'}, optional
        * If True, field names are case-sensitive.
        * If False or 'upper', field names are converted to upper case.
        * If 'lower', field names are converted to lower case.

The default value is True.
    replace_space : '_', optional

After initialization, an instance can be called to transform a string

    missing value, a default value is returned.

Attributes
    ----------
    func : function
        Function used for the conversion.
    default : any
        Default value to return when the input corresponds to a missing
        value.
    type : type
        Type of the output.
    _status : int

    _mapper : sequence of tuples
        Sequence of tuples (dtype, function, default value) to evaluate in
        order.
    _locked : bool
        Holds `locked` parameter.

Parameters
    ----------
    dtype_or_func : {None, dtype, function}, optional
        If a `dtype`, specifies the input data type, used to define a basic
        function and a default value for missing data. For example, when
        `dtype` is float, the `func` attribute is set to `float` and the
        default value to `np.nan`.  If a function, this function is used to
        convert a string to another object. In this case, it is recommended
        to give an associated default value as input.
    default : any, optional
        Value to return by default, that is, when the string to be
        converted is flagged as missing. If not given, `StringConverter`
        tries to supply a reasonable default value.
    missing_values : {None, sequence of str}, optional
        ``None`` or sequence of strings indicating a missing value. If ``None``
        then missing values are indicated by empty entries. The default is
        ``None``.
    locked : bool, optional

The input function (or sequence of functions) and its associated
        default value (if any) is inserted in penultimate position of the
        mapper.  The corresponding type is estimated from the dtype of the
        default value.

Parameters
        ----------
        func : var
            Function, or sequence of functions

Examples
        --------
        >>> import dateutil.parser
        >>> import datetime
        >>> dateparser = dateutil.parser.parse
        >>> defaultdate = datetime.date(2000, 1, 1)
        >>> StringConverter.upgrade_mapper(dateparser, default=defaultdate)
