>Description:

in ctype.h:
/* XXX the following macros are not backed up by functions. */
#define ishexnumber(c)  __istype((c), _X)
#define isideogram(c)   __istype((c), _I)
#define isnumber(c)     __istype((c), _D)
#define isphonogram(c)  __istype((c), _Q)
#define isrune(c)       __istype((c), 0xFFFFFF00L)
#define isspecial(c)    __istype((c), _T)
#endif

these should be documented with manpages, or somehow have their namespace 
presence noted.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
add them to the default isdigit() etc manpage.
