If you only care about the ASCII subset, you can certainly say that
everything >= 0x80 is not part of that subset. If you create
classification function for UTF-8 you need to give them a string and
document them as working on the first *character*, not byge, of that
string. Else, we need an UCS-4 value instread. Awaiting your commit.
