What EOF are we talking about, ASCII 26 or the C EOF which is usually -1?

I would expect that isxxxx() only works on characters, so I would expect -1
not to be valid.

BTW: what happens if characters are signed? In that case, EOF and some
character (binary 0xff, which is a valid and used character in ISO-8859-1)
can not be distinguished.
