Name *ONE* computer langauge where this *ISN'T* the case. Until then,
I'll consider this a completely bogus claim. Meanwhile, is *this* better?
The input alphabet is implementation defined, if you want portable you
cannot depend on implementation defined behaviour. But you clearly
haven't bothered reading the C standard, so you probobly should do
that now.
