Where is the "true" C.UTF-8 defined?
I assume you mean that the collation order can't (shouldn't, anyway)
change. But what about the ctype (upper/lower/initcap) behavior? Is
that also locked down for all time, or could it change if some new
unicode characters are added?
Would it be correct to interpret LC_COLLATE=C.UTF-8 as LC_COLLATE=C,
but leave LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 as-is?
