Well, it is not clear what wordchars should be in shlex.  I would
think (c in wordchar) should be the same as (c.isalnum() or c == '_'),
but there are only 62 characters added  added in in posix mode:

62

while according to str.isalnum(), three are 71 alphanumeric characters
at code points between 128 and 255:

71

I don't know what POSIX definition of word character is.
