Am I missing something obvious here? Apparently, in mask mode ?a means
"any ASCII character", while in doc/RULES ?a means letters [a-zA-Z], ?y
means "all valid characters" (whatever that means), and ?z matches all
characters.

I think reusing character class names defined in doc/RULES +
[UserClasses] defined in john.conf (?0 - ?9) for mask mode would be a
good idea.
