That's the whole point of safe-ctype: that code that is processing things
such as C source code whose semantics do not depend on the host locale can
examine character properties in a locale-independent way. Where C source
code has multibyte characters, the correct handling depends in detail on
the version of C and cannot be done by generic code.
