Subject: bug#35785: ‘string->uri’ is locale-dependent and breaks in ‘sv_SE’

Hi Timothy,

Timothy Sample <samplet <at> ngyro.com> skribis:

Do you think you could turn that into a patch for Guile?  I’d happily
apply it.  :-)

It looks like both [[:alnum:]] & co. and ranges would be
locale-dependent, so my understanding is that we’ll have to list all the
characters explicitly, right?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
