I'm a bit mixed up. Are you saying that the locale settings for lpeg 
would be better for this? Could this not lead to non-portable code as 
variations of this table would already be in use? I was just thinking 
about a simple table that had no other purpose, that could be copied and 
pasted or if a success could be made into a rock.
