Are you sure that the numeric characters in other parts of the spectrum cannot occur in real words that need to be spellchecked. An example to prove that this can be the case is in Chinese: 三 means '3', but 三角 means triangle. Ok, I don't know what iswdigit() returns for 三, and I guess that spellchecking for Chinese makes no sense, but you get the idea. It would be worse if there is some language in which such a numeric character occurs for example in 10% of all words (as some common ending or something), then 10% of the words is not spellchecked. It feels like we are trying to be smart, but I'd feel better if we then exactly know what we do and which words are not spellchecked and why. Besides, I read on this website:http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl3_iswdigit.htm "The wide character class "digit" always contains exactly the digits '0' to '9'.", so I'm not sure whether it has any added value.
