For example:<pre>export LC_ALL=C read LANG < file</pre>is guaranteed not to change it. My concern is that there might be scripts in existence which, for some strange reason, pass LANG or LC_CTYPE (or even LC_ALL) as an operand to <i>read</i> in circumstances where there is no reason to make the behaviour unspecified. In which case, doing so would unnecessarily affect the conformance of those scripts.
