Does [[:print:]] include only traditional ASCII, or would the unicode  
code points fall in this range as well?  I'm under the impression that  
extended Unicode characters would fall into the printable class, and  
hence not be decoded, as implied by the character class, but without  
knowing the calling context of any code which uses these arguments, I  
don't know how to verify this.  Also, this threw me off because it was  
a literal string and not a regex (at least directly).
