In the sense that the class holding ASCII should be the Latin1 class, for the 
reasons that Marc presented. It's actually faster to convert from Latin1 to 
UTF-16 than from US-ASCII to UTF-16 (unless we declare out-of-bounds US-ASCII 
UB).

The only issue is what to do with the transforming functions toUpper and 
toLower.
