Hi,

In isalpha.3 there's a typo:


diff --git a/man3/isalpha.3 b/man3/isalpha.3
index 4dbd35b..1fc3c44 100644
--- a/man3/isalpha.3
+++ b/man3/isalpha.3
@@ -166,7 +166,7 @@ and is also an SVr4 extension.

 POSIX.1-2008 marks

 as obsolete.
 .SH NOTES

But then I was a bit surprised by the comment that isalpha is obsolete,
so went and checked POSIX.1-2008 and couldn't find any reference to this:

  
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_xsh_chap01.html#tag_23_01_01_04>
  <http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/isalpha.html>

So the following might be more appropriate instead?


diff --git a/man3/isalpha.3 b/man3/isalpha.3
index 4dbd35b..7cd1be2 100644
--- a/man3/isalpha.3
