Drew answered why.
I'll add that you could use looking-at:
(defun goto-vowel ()
"Skip to next vowel after point."
(interactive)
(while (not (looking-at "[aeiouy]") (forward-char)))
More over, only in iso-8859-1 there are a lot of other vowels:
ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåæèéêëìíîïòóôõöøùúûüýÿ
(and what about semi-vowels like y? In some languages it's considered
a plain vowel).
One would hope to be able to use the character categories and match \C1 as in:
(while (looking-at "\\C1") (forward-char))
unfortunately, in the default category table, the consonant/vowel
attribute is not set for ASCII characters. You'd have to build a
correct category table.
