Or more likely, use the appropriate ctype.h function (isalpha, probably).

AFAIK, our specification for this function is "be like Oracle", so it's
a bug fix and fair game for 7.4. Of course, the sooner you get it in
the more likely we'll see it that way ;-). Later in beta, only critical
bugfixes will be accepted, and this one surely ain't very critical.
