For what? Which is the purpose of an alphabet? Why came Apple with a
first MacRoman *encoding* and MS with so-called "code pages"? Both
companies and even more users of this hard- and software would have
had an easy life with alphabets instead of encodings.
Did a 'grep abcd' on the GNU Emacs sources reveal something? Did you
read about charsets?
A test whether some character is alphabetic or something else is not
limited to whether this character is or was or will be used in some
language variant of some country at some era.
