</div>All calls to functions in std.ctype should be replaced either with functions<br>
in std.ascii or functions std.uni. Functions with the identical names do the<br>
same thing except that those in std.uni operate on unicode, and those in<br>
std.ascii only operate on ascii (they still work with unicode characters; they<br>
just ignore them). If you need to use both std.ascii and std.uni, then you<br>
need to fully qualify them - e.g. std.ascii.isUpper or std.uni.isAlpha - or<br>
you need to create aliases for them.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>On a somewhat related note, I wonder if this pull request could get reviewed in the near future (and hopefully a fix could make it into the next version):</div>
