11 "better readability" is a pretty subjective claim ... i'd say that changing
12 things from doing a case match against proper character classes to doing a
13 printf against arbitrary character ranges (which btw are not locale safe, so
14 i imagine you've introduced a regression there) is not "better". but i'm not
