Converts a string to kebab case.
Break the string into words and combine them adding `-` as a separator, using a regexp.
```py
import re
def kebab(s):
return re.sub(r"(\s|_|-)+","-",
re.sub(r"[A-Z]{2,}(?=[A-Z][a-z]+[0-9]*|\b)|[A-Z]?[a-z]+[0-9]*|[A-Z]|[0-9]+",
lambda mo: mo.group(0).lower(), s)
)
```
```py
kebab('camelCase'); # 'camel-case'
kebab('some text'); # 'some-text'
kebab('some-mixed_string With spaces_underscores-and-hyphens'); # 'some-mixed-string-with-spaces-underscores-and-hyphens'
kebab('AllThe-small Things'); # "all-the-small-things"
```
