If this is the case, how would a regex like "^[a-zA-Z]" work (or other, more
sensitive characters)? If just about anything can come between A and Z, and
letters that might be there in a particular locale aren't in another locale,
then how will regex engine make the distinction? Will it have to create it's
own locale-specific character table?
