Trying the Czech locale (I normally run with the values below), I've
come across some unexpected behavior.
0xE8 is c caron, and sorts between c and d, but not on this computer.
0xBE is z caron, and sorts just after z.
I'd expect [a-z] to match 0xE8 but it does not.

How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?
You don't know, man. You don't KNOW.
