Any specific reason for the "sane-" prefix? I think it would make more
sense if it was just named ctype.h: see below.
I think it is a good idea to keep the sane prefix for two reasons
that were described in 4546738b (Unlocalized isspace and friends,
2005-10-13):
Do our own ctype.h, just to get the sane semantics: we want
locale-independence, _and_ we want the right signed behaviour. Plus we
only use a very small subset of ctype.h anyway (isspace, isalpha,
isdigit and isalnum).
