Here is one ;)
  $ export LC_ALL=et_EE.UTF-8
  $ echo '#include <vorlon>' | grep -E '\b(use|class|template)\b|::|#include[[:space:]]+<[a-zA-Z_/]+>'
  $

When bracket expressions are used within regular expressions of commands
which are influenced by LC_COLLATE (like grep, sed, ...), LC_ALL must be
set to C before running this command.
An alternative way is to replace [a-zA-Z_/] by [[:alpha:]_/] though I am
not 100% sure whether it is mandated that any locale has all ASCII letters
in its alpha character class.
