Ah: after consulting the commit history I realized that the regex
operators only base \d on iswdigit() in 9.2 and later.  Before that
it was hardwired as [0-9].  So there might not be any difference
in the locale environment after all.

I wonder whether this was a bad idea.  I think it's unsurprising for the
definition of "alphanumeric" to depend on locale, but I bet most people
are not expecting \d to vary that way.
