Now that we have grudingly accepted the existence of the ctype macros
(isdigit(3) and friends) along with strto{u}[ql](3) into the kernel,
there are a considerable number of places where they could be used
to make code more readable.
Needless to say you need to *test* your patches before you send them
to us with send-pr.
About the only place which is sacred is the gdb-stubs, please be
aware that particular isolation requirements apply to that code
which make it un-smart to rely on library functions. (that is why
the gdb-stubs even come with their own strlen(3) & strcat(3)
