I think it's an elegant use of encapsulation- keeping a string's locale with the string. If the you want to compare two strings with different collations, either- $foo ~~ $a..$b :QuuxNationality # override the locales for this test or $foo ~~ $a..$b # Perl warns about conflict, and falls back to its default -y
