/* ISDIGIT differs from isdigit, as follows:
- - Its arg may be any int or unsigned int; it need not be an unsigned char.
- - It's guaranteed to evaluate its argument exactly once.
+ - Its arg may be any int or unsigned int; it need not be an unsigned char
+ or EOF.
- It's typically faster.
POSIX says that only '0' through '9' are digits. Prefer ISDIGIT to
- ISDIGIT_LOCALE unless it's important to use the locale's definition
