7 Thanks for a nice link. If I read section 7.3.1 correctly, [[:alpha:]]
8 always contains those letters, but might contain more, depending on the
9 locale. So it's probably very minor point, but as long as the script
10 runs with user-provided locale, one should be explicit here. Or am I
11 missing something here?

13 Cheers,
