It doesn’t. This test is already run for the C locale.
Besides, there are no UTF-16 or somesuch locales on UNIX® or
compatible systems.
Yes, right. ASCII-7 characters need to be encoded as a single
char (octet), with values between 1 and 127, but not necessarily
with ASCII values. With a quick look, it seems that all locales
implement are ASCII compatible charsets, which is also very
nice for filename portability (also between users and system).
Recently there was a short discussion in POSIX about locales
which code "/" in a non stanrdard place, thus creating a lot
of problems (also security related), but this is an other
story.
