Can we go ahead and make the replacement ctype.h catch additional bugs, by
rewriting the various ctype macros to cause gcc -Wall warnings when passed
a char (rather than int or unsigned char)?  Newlib has already made the
change, and it has caught several real bugs in existing code, but my plea
to get glibc to improve QoI has, so far, fallen on deaf ears:
