Re: regexp character class locale awareness patch

According to POSIX -regex (7)-, standard character class are:

alnum digit punct
alpha graph space
blank lower upper
cntrl print xdigi

Many of that classes are different in different locales, and currently
all work as if the localization were C. Many of those tests have
multibyte issues, however with the patch postgres will work for
one-byte encondings, which is better than nothing. If someone
(Tatsuo?) gives some advice I will work in the multibyte version.

Yeah, that should work. You may also remove include/regex/cclass.h
since it will not be used any more.

This is not the case.
