Is there a reason you couldn't use the <ctype.h> isspace function? I added 
g_ascii_xxx functions for things that I knew were different depending on 
the locale. I was under the impression that locales generally don't change 
the definition of isspace. On the other hand, perhaps locales do. If so, 
perhaps we should add a full complement for consistency, rather than 
adding the calls one at a time.

This comment still talks about the C library isalpha function, and 
mentions ASCII letters.
