Summary: Request: locale-independent functions

Initial Comment:
Frequently I need to read/write data in english format, such as when a program needs to generate code, even when the current locale may be different. Functions such as wxString::ToDouble and wxString::Format use locale-specific conversions and causes problems.  I would like to see some locale-independent functions similar to those that glib has that work with ASCII format material, to aid in this, espeicially since switching locales isn't thread-safe anyways, and various parts of the library use them over the others (such as reading/writing double in wxConfig)

for example, wxAsciiIsDigit(c) return c >= wxT('0') && c <= wxT('9'), also wxAsciiIsAlpha, wxString::AsciiFormat, wxString::AsciiPrintf, wxAsciiStrtod, etc
