One misgiving I had was locales; is it a bug or a feature that locales
aren't supported, as they are for the C isdigit(), isalpha(), &c,
functions?  I'm not entirely sure which it is.  (The locale module
doesn't expose the C is*() functions, though I think they're used in
constructing string.letters.)
