Hm. Is it possible that isalpha() is doing the wrong thing on your
machine? makeIndexable() currently assumes that isalpha() returns true
for any character that is subject to case conversion, but I wonder
whether that's a good enough test.
The other possibility is that regexp's internal handling of
case-insensitive matching is not right.
