Huh?  isalpha() *is* locale-aware according to the ANSI C spec.
For instance, the attached test program finds 52 alpha characters
in C locale and 114 in fr_FR locale under HPUX.

I am not at all sure that this aspect of Florian's change is a good
idea, as it appears to eliminate locale-awareness in favor of a hard
coded delimiter list.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <locale.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{ int i;
 setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
 for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)   if (isalpha(i))     printf("%d    %c\n", i, i);
 return 0;
}
