LC_ALL=C would disable UTF-8, and I am told that this would cause |
| 12 |
problems for e.g. Python 3. What we would really want is C.UTF-8 [1] |
| 13 |
but that's neither a standard nor is it ready. |

In the meantime, we could go with the minimum changes necessary to |
| 16 |
unbreak the bash 4.2 case conversion operators. Setting LC_COLLATE |
| 17 |
to C and LC_CTYPE to some sane locale should be sufficient for that. |
