I agree that passing a locale would be nice.  However, since I'm told
it is not safe to use multi-byte character sets with finger, I thought
we would not want to provide such an option.

I obviously need to study more about how isprint(3) and friends work.
Maybe there is a good solution hiding in there somewhere.

Regards,
+ Kim

| Hardcoding locale name like this is really bad practice of
| programing.
|
| This should be done by either
| 	1. passing locale name by its argument.
| or
| 	2. hardcoding usable range of codepoints.
