SVN rev 212190 on 2010-09-03 22:13:54Z by jilles
sh: Do not use locale for determining if something is a name.
This makes it impossible to use locale-specific characters in variable
names.
Names containing locale-specific characters make scripts only work with the
correct locale setting. Also, they did not even work in many practical cases
because multibyte character sets such as utf-8 are not supported.
This also avoids weirdness if LC_CTYPE is changed in the middle of a script.
