I agree that isw*() functions should be used for wchar_t. But I think
just changing isupper() to iswupper() is not enough as I explain
below. If iswascii() was available, using both iswascii() and
iswupper() might be a candidate.

With Japanese Windows, the upper 8 bits of *src are not zero. So I
would like to correct the behavior. I think adding isascii() can be a
compromise.

I'm not sure if I understand what you are saying, but for example
iswupper(L'\uff21') returns 1 in Japanese locale.
