Comment (by Azel):

 From what I can see on various C and C++ documentations (i.e.
 [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/isalnum-
 iswalnum-isalnum-l-iswalnum-l Microsoft's],
 [https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Classification-of-
 Wide-Characters.html#Classification-of-Wide-Characters the glibc's] or
 [http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/wide/iswalnum cppreference.com's]
 which refers us [http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC35/WG5/docs/30112d10.pdf
 here]) `iswalnum`'s behaviour should be to return `True` if either of
 `iswalpha` or `iswdigit` does, so I guess `isAlphaNum` ought to do the
 same. That is, keeping the documentation as it is and fixing `u_iswalnum`.
