Wait. I remember Bruce's proposal to eliminate all upper/lower
tags, he refers to ANSI here and Kaleb agrees.
I have several ideas in this direction: maybe remove punct, space
and alpha tags too? I.e. made it in two parts: control & printable.
Or maybe three parts (control/printable/alpha)?
Bruce, what you can say?

Well, so lets put XPG3 library into libc and made additional XPG4
library linked by -lxpg4. I assume that two libraries will
be made from same sources, of course. Do you agree with that?
