In C, there are a bunch of macros (is_visable, is_num,
is_alpha, etc..). They were just some interesting bit mask
magic to a table full of OR'd flags. Cute algorithm,
actually. Since it used CPP, it didn't incur the overhead
of a function call.
Does Perl bring somethin similar through? Perhaps the
/[[space]]/ POSIX(?) character classes? (I'm sure I've got
the syntax wrong.) There's no reason to hard-code 32..126
into zentara's printing program. Especially if it's to work
in different locales.
