When I do, the linker coughs:
   undefined reference to `_ctype_'

The macros in ctype.h name an array called _ctype_[], which is defined in
ctype.c.

If I include both:

 #include <ctype.h>
 #include <ctype.c>

then everything is fine, since then I have a local copy of _ctype_[257].
Maybe that is the best way. I'll do that.

Come to think of it, what I was suggesting (making _ctype[]_ available
through the plugin API) would not work. Because then the array would not be
called _ctype_[]. It would be rb->_ctype_[], or
my_plugin_api_ptr->_ctype_[], whatever.
