It's also a bit uglier than I wanted because the locale is named en_US.utf8 but LC_ALL is named en_US.UTF-8. Is there a way for them to be the same (ignoring case)?
This makes the tests not run on MacOS X, because "locale -a" shows the locale listings with UTF-8, not utf8 There seems to be no uniformity here in the mechanics of how locale(1) works; see the differing output between different operating systems for "locale LC_CTYPE". I would personally argue that the Linux implementation seems to be wrong; locale -m everywhere seems to show a character set of UTF-8 (the character set that is in the MIME registry). I think the only true solution here is to create a test program. I cooked up a simple something that I've attached below that seems to do the job, but it will probably need to be adapted a bit. Given that this is a bit more complicated than expected, I do not believe it should be in 1.6. --Ken
