No they don't. "begin with either is or to and a lowercase letter",
meaning (is|to)[a-z].*, just as Morten wrote. is_.* doesn't fall into

gone into the standard.
Also, note that we don't include <ctype.h>, and the reasons to stay out
of its namespace are:
a. potential for confusion (different semantics), and
b. broken system headers.
