Emacs 21 introduced posix char classes in regexps with a syntax like
"[[:upper:][:digit:]_]". Given that skip-chars-(forward|backward)
should take a char class like the inside of a "[...]", I expect that
one can do e.g.
(skip-chars-forward "[:upper:][:digit:]_")
Unfortunately that doesn't work. This is a problem in CC Mode which
uses the same building blocks for both regexps and these "bare" char
classes.
