--- Comment #1 from Florian Weimer <fweimer at redhat dot com> ---
Isn't the larger issue here that it's reasonable to expect that [[:alpha:]]
matches a single letter as perceived by the user: an entire grapheme cluster
comprising the base character(s), its associated combining characters and other
marks. We do not implement any of that in glibc, and there are no plans to do
so.
