I should add that I know about locales and saw in the docs how the
character classes are affected by CTYPE. What I'm confused about is
what to do when you want *no* locale. In my regular expressions I'd
like to allow any character that someone might consider a letter in
their native language. Accented Latin characters in Western languages,
Cyrillic, Arabic script, etc. But not non-alphabetic characters like
punctuation, decorations and so on. My goal is for the database to be
as language-neutral as possible.

Thanks again,
