I think we should not do this, as it would make locales unusable
with ebcdic encodings. I am also unsure how it will work with utf-16.
I propose you use better mnemonics for the ascii range, such as <a> for a,
etc. That is, use the mnemonics defined in the POSIX standard for the ascii
range.
best regards
keld
