Hmm.  Upon reflection I guess I can see the validity of "if you are using the C 
locale you or the OS are broken anyway, so we'll just pass the bytes through".  
I'm not entirely convinced this won't cause issues, but I suppose it might not 
cause any more issues that having things break due to the C locale does.

It is, however, going to return us to the days when a program that works fine 
most of the time suddenly blows up in the face of non-ascii data, and that's my 
biggest concern.

I'd certainly be fine with it if it wasn't the default (that is, programs who 
need this have to opt in to it).
