The alphabet, by law
NONE. Disposición D.N. N° 40/2016 art. 1 enumerates the alphabet in full — "Las posiciones alfabéticas seguirán el orden A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y y Z" — and I, O and Q are in it. Argentina does not do the lookalike exclusions the Netherlands, Mexico and most US states do, so no series in this file carries a `regex_strict`: the round-trippable `regex` already IS the issuing grammar.
