Throw:

XTerm*charClass: 45:48

into whatever X resources file you prefer and the former will select the
same as the latter.

("Modern" Linux distributions are starting to throw a huge laundry list
of characters into this group by default, including slash, which annoys
me.  Undoing this behavior is the only reason I'm aware of this
resource.)

I suppose one could say that 568b_2462_456e_9a57_4326_93df_936d_4835
would select that way by default, but it is less readable than with
hyphens to me.
