The isascii etc macros have been defined in a header called ctype.h for some time, and glibc actually has a macro 'isctype' which does the exact equivalent of what I am proposing, which is why I chose the name; however, I have no personal preference, so I'll go with whatever seems most popular. Your suggestion wins so far.
