Could you elaborate on this comment? I don't understand what
you mean by "define everything in terms of chars".

Why did you chose to import the entire iset egg? It would
make more sense to migrate the cset stuff from irregex into
srfi-14 and change irregex to use srfi-14, wouldn't it?
This would mean less code, overall.
