When I defined the category `a' for ASCII, the intention was to specify characters of "ISO646 IRV:1983[4/0]" which is an ISO character set based on ASCII, and that contains only graphic characters. So, how about treating this matter as a documentation bug, and fix it to: "ISO646 IRV:1983[4/0] (ASCII graphic characters)" instead of modifying the code? --- Kenichi Handa [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
