After having a closer look, where wildmatch is actually used -- matching
filenames -- and I've not yet seen \v or \f in a filename, it's possibly
unnecessary to do anything about isspace() right now.

(It's probably more an issue that filenames can be localized, and we only
support unlocalized character classes.)

This was from a previous patch, but maybe: "hexval_table[(unsigned char)x]"

May I suggest the current is_print() implementation in master:

#define isprint(x) ((x) >= 0x20 && (x) <= 0x7e)


To summarize my opinion:

I no longer see a reason to correct isspace() (unless somebody with an actual
use case complains), and a more POSIXly isprint() is already in master.

=> Nothing to do. :)
