Sorry for applying the earlier patch without reviewing it carefully
enough. I'd like to go ahead again and apply this patch as soon as
possible to fix the "integral".

But are there further refinements, while we're at it? Is "A single
uppercase alphabetic character between A and Z" clear and correct enough
now?

In English it's fairly conventional to use "alphabetic character" means
a letter of the /English/ alphabet. But as Ihor pointed out, there are
different alphabets, so it's ambiguous at the least, and on the syntax
page we should be careful.

However, the worg/org-syntax.org page also refers to "alphabetic
characters" under blocks (switches), entities (can be followed by a
non-alphabetic character), LaTeX fragments, and macros. I think most or
all of these mean [a-zA-Z]. Should we fix these as well?

Is "between A and Z" unambiguous? Can we assume everyone understands that we're
talking about charsets with an ASCII block? In my local alphabet,
"between A and Z" includes Č, Ć, and Š, but there is no charset with
this order. And do we all understand that "between...and" includes the
endpoints, or should we say "from A to Z"? :-)

Regards,
Christian
