LC_COLLATE=en_US

Greetings; I recently found the default settings of LC_COLLATE on a recent RedHat Linux distribution to be highly surprising. An example: $ touch a A b $ echo [a-z] a A b I am much more used to LC_COLLATE=C behavior: $ touch a A b $ echo [a-z] a b I would wager there is some software that expects LC_COLLATE=C as well. I just don't have the time to search for them, so I turn to you, the good reader, in the hopes that you will have time to search for unexpected behavior on systems where LC_COLLATE does not reflect traditional Unix behavior.
