ia_allow_word_chars(3)

💖 ia_allow_word_chars 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're talking about ia_allow_word_chars(3) from the gstream manual ✨ she's a lil function, she's a whole vibe, and she's here to help you figure out what counts as a "word" character 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gstream.h>

bool ia_allow_word_chars(int c);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like… this one allows characters that can make up a word 💅 that's the whole job. any number and any alphabetic character is allowed — no cap, digits and letters get the green light 👑

and here's the cute lil plot twist: it doesn't actually work by letting stuff in. it works by blocking some known non-alphabetic characters instead 🙈 so it ought to work with extended national characters too — like, that's the whole reason for the sneaky backwards approach, iykyk 🌈

also?? '_' is allowed too 🎀 don't forget the underscore bestie, she counts, she belongs 💜

ngl it's giving "allowlist but make it a blocklist" and honestly? iconic behaviour ⭐
