I should have mentioned -- I recently removed the ascii::* parsers, which used is_*() from the C standard library. It included ascii::alnum. I removed them because those is_*() functions are considered just plain wrong by me and lots of other people from SG-16 (the committee's Unicode study group).
Is there a link to some discussion about why they are considered 'wrong'? Certainly they're correct for ASCII. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals-wiki.org> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> Legalize Adulthood!
