 39.12.2 Character Set Data Type
 -------------------------------
 
 The data type "charset" implements sets of characters (
 Characters).  Because the internal representation of character sets
 is not visible to the user, a lot of procedures for handling them are
 provided.
 
    Character sets can be created, extended, tested for the membership
 of a characters and be compared to other character sets.
 
    The Guile implementation of character sets deals with 8-bit
 characters.  In the standard variables, only the ASCII part of the
 character range is really used, so that for example "Umlaute" and other
 accented characters are not considered to be letters.  In the future,
 as Guile may get support for international character sets, this will
 change, so don't rely on these "features".
