Yes, that does make sense but it is orthogonal to what sane_ctype
wants to address, I would think.
Currently we can only use one or the other variant because our sane
versions use the same names as the locale-aware ones. Full overlap
instead of orthogonality.
Ah, that is true but slightly complicated. As long as the caller of
walks the string byte-by-byte and calls ispunct() in each iteration,
I do not think any "locale aware ispunct()" do much good to us.
Once callers are made locale aware, I am not sure they would still
want to call the isfoo() functions that have been know to be very
much byte-oriented.
Thanks.
