There are two reasons for that optimization --- first, some locale support is broken and Unicode encoding with a C locale crashes (not an issue for ICU), and second, it is an optimization for languages like Japanese that want to use unicode, but don't need a locale because upper/lower means nothing in those character sets. So, the first issue doesn't apply for ICU, and the second might not depending on what characters you are using in the Unicode character set. I guess I am little confused how ICU can do upper() when the locale is C. What is it using to determine A is upper for a?
