Here's the patch for the isxxx methods.  If it's up to 
spec, let me know and I'll add documentation and 
expand the unittests.

Unassigning this because I'm away for five weeks.

The equivalent Unicode operations are not as clearly 
defined as they are for Ascii. Was researching what is done 
in other programming languages.

Also, there was a py-dev discussion that suggested that 
the function names be changed to something more clear 
than their names in C.

Thanks!

But what about adding the same methods to Unicode objects? I
think that's the point of using methods -- supporting the
same operations for both string types.

Also, Paul Prescod wanted ishexdigit instead of isxdigit.
Not sure if I agree.
