The -1 comes from Lua itself. It is EOZ, the mark for end of input.
Lua assumes that is*(-1) should be false. The ISO standard says that
these functions should accept EOF:
 The header <ctype.h> declares several functions useful for classifying
 and mapping characters.) In all cases the argument is an int, the
 value of which shall be representable as an unsigned char or shall equal
 the value of the macro EOF.
But actually the standard does not say that EOF should be -1 (it only
says that EOF should be a negative integer), nor that EOF could not be a
digit ;)
