Here
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/tcl/tcl/generic/regc_locale.c?rev=1.10&view=auto

is the Tcl version.  Is looks very similar (meaning, :print: is the
same as :alnum:).  Note that the code hasn't changed since
Mon Jul 29 12:27:51 2002 UTC

but is marked with tags to version 8.4.4.

Maybe not too much people uses :print: ?
