That's the whole point of safe-ctype: that code that is processing things such as C source code whose semantics do not depend on the host locale can examine character properties in a locale-independent way. Where C source code has multibyte characters, the correct handling depends in detail on the version of C and cannot be done by generic code. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
