  Note: This function's behaviour depends on the locale, but requires special
  handling for the multibyte characters that occur in strings in locales with
  @code{MB_CUR_MAX > 1} (this includes all the common UTF-8 locales).
  There are two alternative APIs:
  
  @table @code
  @item c_isascii
  This function operates in a locale independent way and returns true only for
  ASCII characters.  It is provided by the Gnulib module @samp{c-ctype}.
  
  @item mb_isascii
  This function operates in a locale dependent way, on multibyte characters.
  It is provided by the Gnulib module @samp{mbchar}.
  @end table
