4 ranges is more than enough, but 32 chars is sometimes not enough. Why
do they consume much local memory, can't we have this data shared?
Also, I think we should include an optimization in some/all kernels,
where a consecutive range of ASCII codes (and beyond, for 8-bit chars)
would be specified. Thus, there would be two ways to pass a charset
spec for a char position into the kernel: either list of chars (need one
byte per char), or range of chars (two bytes to specify the entire range).

OK.
