Description
Implementations for the character predicates (isLower, isUpper, etc.) and the conversions (toUpper, toLower). The implementation uses libunicode on Unix systems if that is available.

Documentation
isAscii :: Char -> Bool
Selects the first 128 characters of the Unicode character set, corresponding to the ASCII character set.
isLatin1 :: Char -> Bool
Selects the first 256 characters of the Unicode character set, corresponding to the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set.
isControl :: Char -> Bool
Selects control characters, which are the non-printing characters of the Latin-1 subset of Unicode.
isAsciiUpper :: Char -> Bool
isAsciiLower :: Char -> Bool
isPrint :: Char -> Bool
Selects printable Unicode characters (letters, numbers, marks, punctuation, symbols and spaces).
isSpace :: Char -> Bool
Selects white-space characters in the Latin-1 range. (In Unicode terms, this includes spaces and some control characters.)
isUpper :: Char -> Bool
Selects alphabetic Unicode characters (letters) that are not lower-case. (In Unicode terms, this includes letters in upper and title cases, as well as modifier letters and other letters.)
isLower :: Char -> Bool
Selects lower-case alphabetic Unicode characters (letters).
isAlpha :: Char -> Bool
Selects alphabetic Unicode characters (letters).
isDigit :: Char -> Bool
Selects ASCII digits, i.e. '0'..'9'.
isOctDigit :: Char -> Bool
Selects ASCII octal digits, i.e. '0'..'7'.
isHexDigit :: Char -> Bool
Selects ASCII hexadecimal digits, i.e. '0'..'9', 'a'..'f', 'A'..'F'.
isAlphaNum :: Char -> Bool

Selects alphabetic or numeric digit Unicode characters.

Note that numeric digits outside the ASCII range are selected by this function but not by isDigit. Such digits may be part of identifiers but are not used by the printer and reader to represent numbers.

toUpper :: Char -> Char
Convert a letter to the corresponding upper-case letter, leaving any other character unchanged. Any Unicode letter which has an upper-case equivalent is transformed.
toLower :: Char -> Char
Convert a letter to the corresponding lower-case letter, leaving any other character unchanged. Any Unicode letter which has a lower-case equivalent is transformed.
