 Replying to [comment:6 syn]:
 > Alrihgt, so Chicken uses latin1 by default? That would explain it! I
 have been pointed to the utf8 egg meanwhile. {{{(use utf8-srfi-14)}}}
 redefines {{{char-set:letter}}} which now no longer contains extended
 latin characters:

 I'm not at expert in these things, but I assume this is locale-dependent
 (but I don't assume the utf8 egg uses locale information). Latin1-letters
 contains more elements than US-ASCII. The Right Thing would be to take
 locale-information into account, but that is an awful mess and needs an
 expert.
