Hm, surely the latter result indicates that "en_US.utf-8" is not in fact
a valid locale name?
It would only be a problem if different case-foldings of the same name
represented valid but different locales on some platform, and that seems
rather hard to believe (it would be a pretty foolish choice no?).
So I'm inclined to leave the code alone.
