(Maybe strtol() should be strtoint(). This is my fault... but anyway)
You afraid that these functions may return non-zero value if locale is not "C"
and inputs are non-ascii characters?
I read the POSIX specification(isdigit: [1], strtol: [2]) and I found that
it suggests such functions are affected by locale settings.
For isdigit():
> The isdigit() and isdigit_l() functions shall test whether c is a character of class digit in the current locale,
> or in the locale represented by locale, respectively; see XBD Locale.
For strtol()
> In other than the C or POSIX locale, additional locale-specific subject sequence forms may be accepted.
I seeked other sources, but I thought that they did not consider about
locale settings. For example, functions in numutils.c are use such functions
without any locale consideration.
And I considered executing setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C"), but I found
the following comment pg_locale.c and I did not want to violate the policy.

But isdigit() and strtol() cannot accept multi byte character,
so I also thought we don't have to consider
that some unexpected character is set in LC_CTYPE digit category.
So now we can choose from followings:
* ignore such differences and use isdigit() and strtol()
* give up using them and implement two static support functions
How do you think? Someone knows any other knowledge about locale?
