What's the deal with character classes in regexps?

If I do
C-u C-s [:ascii:]

I get matches for :, a, s, c and i.

That does not jibe with

(info "(elisp) Char Classes")

which is explicitly mentioned in

(info "(elisp) Regexp Special")

How come we have this feature _documented_ in full detail, but not
implemented?
