Refine the is_palindrome function to work with arbitrary strings, by ignoring non-letter characters and the distinction between upper- and lowercase letters. For example, if the input string is "Madam, I’m Adam!" then you’d first strip off the last character because it isn’t a letter, and recursively check whether the shorter string "Madam, I’m Adam" is a palindrome. c++
