For this particular unit test, since we're just testing simple predicates on static sets of characters, I would be OK seeing one TEST() per class/character. That would certainly make this unit test an outlier in the number of checks, but I'm less worried about that since this is testing system-provided functions that we don't expect to change regularly. Additionally, the elimination of a level of macro indirection makes this more readable IMO.
