    30 // We use custom qualifiers since it is not clear what D allows.
    31
    32 static bool IsWordStart(int ch) {
    33 	return isascii(ch) && (isalpha(ch) || ch == '_');
    34 }
    35
    36 static bool IsWord(int ch) {
    37 	return isascii(ch) && (isalnum(ch) || ch == '_');
    38 }

See std.uni.isUniAlpha(dchar u);

There's a C version in the dmd front end source. (unialpha.c)
