It can't give correct answers for anything other than English in UTF-8 locales.
It can't give correct answers for any non-Latin scripts in any locales.
The problem is ctype and POSIX.
Given that, making ctype only work for ASCII (and maybe EBCDIC if you're really unlucky, which glibc is) is basically sufficient.

- cryptonector 5y agoBut that's the issue: glibc's ctype does work beyond ASCII: it works for ISO-8859-*. It's pointless because that's pretty much all it can work for.
