 Note that the `preprocessing` parameter in `HyperoptEstimator` is expecting a list, since various preprocessing steps can be chained together.
 The generic search space functions `any_preprocessing` and `any_text_preprocessing` already return a list, but the others do not, so they should be wrapped in a list.
-If you do not want to do any preprocessing, pass in an empty list `[]`.
