They allow it, but it's not really the Right Thing. Lu is an artifact of the general classification system, which doesn't allow something to be both a symbol and a letter. Alphabetic is far better, and it's what should be exposed. "Numeric" in R7RS means Nd, because the Nd values can all be treated in the same way programmatically. There should be an extended pattern for N&, though. I'm not sure I like having so many multiple names for patterns, however. Pick one and stick to it, I think. -- John Cowan <cowan@xxxxxxxx> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan .e'osai ko sarji la lojban. Please support Lojban! http://www.lojban.org
