There is no POSIX function to extract TODIGIT info, so it is useless for
now.
todigit() is SCO extension and its manpage says:
The macro todigit returns the digit character corresponding to its integer
argument. The argument must be in the range 0-9, otherwise the behavior is
undefined.
iswdigit() have the same 0-9 restriction as isdigit() just accepts wint_t
