Are you sure that it's not just a locale you happen to use?
It's a general problem - developers don't realize that the behaviour of
such constructs depend on locale. I have seen it many many times because
I happen to use a language (Estonian) where 'z' is in the middle of
alphabet. As a result constructs like [a-z] just don't work as expected.
[:alpha:], [:lower:] and [:upper:] are there for reason.
