Please add a wordpress function to convert a given file name string into what it would turn into if uploaded to the media library

When writing import scripts, it can be very difficult trying to set post thumbnails on posts if the client gives us files named things like:

Ranked Choice Voting and Women_s Representation. Cambridge, MA THUMBNAIL.png

I'd like to be able to take that string and put it into a wordpress function that converts it to the filename that wordpress creates when it is successfully added to the media library:

Ranked-Choice-Voting-and-Women_s-Representation.-Cambridge-MA-THUMBNAIL.png

If this function already exists somewhere I would greatly appreciate being directed to it.

Nevermind, here it is!
