FYI, I just checked some of the machines I have access to.  AIX 4.3 and
5.1 both have NLctype.h that defines _P.  HPUX 10.20, 11.0 and 11i
all have _P defined in ctype.h.  SunOS 5.8 has _P defined in
/usr/include/iso/ctype_iso.h.  It looks like this is some sort of legacy
thing for character classes.
