Don’t use [A-Z], that’s a red flag. It only works for English, at most.

There is a lot of software that only works for Englsh; I'm not sure I'd call it a "red flag". Maybe more flexibility should be used in this case, and maybe it doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong... it's good advice. I just don't see a "red flag" when I see [A-Z] unless I know that the program needs to deal with character sets other than ASCII. That has been rare in my world (though decreasingly so.)

    Considering you don’t speak English, German and Greek, that doesn’t suprise me… :-)

    For me, it is the other way around: I use [A-Z] explicitly when I really mean to deal with ASCII only.
