Ahaaa... So the "oscillatory behaviour" is just me shifting between
machines with proper locale configuration and machines without it! I
think that isalpha() is actually the way to go. People just have to
get their locales right. Here's what's in isalpha(c)==1 for the da_DK
locale:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz­
ÀÁ ÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿ

The hyphen following 'z' is actually 0xad (soft hyphen).
