Are these patterns really meant to depend on the user's locale (and
support locale-specific letters) or are they related to the checked-in
source code (in which case they should support just ASCII letters and
digits - either the relevant program should be run in the C locale, or as
in GCC's option-handling awk scripts the full sets of letters and digits
should be given explicitly somewhere)?
(Using character classes like you do is fine - *if* either the user's
locale is correct for this code or the programs explicitly run in the C
locale.)
