For the umpteenth time this locale "bug" has been reported,
because the default behaviour is unexpected and fixing it requires
knowledge of how locales and environment variables work.
I wonder should we flag the common case on exit with something like:
if (only_ascii_read && LC_COLLATE!="C" && !LC_ALL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Warning, sorting ASCII data in non C locale\n");
fprintf(stderr, "Please be explicitly describe your data by doing either\n");
fprintf(stderr, "`LC_ALL=C sort` or `LC_ALL=$LANG sort`\n"); /* sh syntax
for brevity */
}
