<p>
The library has the full repertoire of single character parsers for character
classification. This includes the usual <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">alnum</span></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">alpha</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">digit</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xdigit</span></code>,
etc. parsers. These parsers have an associated <a class="link" href="../basics.html#spirit.qi.reference.basics.character_encoding_namespace">Character
Encoding Namespace</a>. This is needed when doing basic operations
such as inhibiting case sensitivity.
