I'm still interested in following up with the idea for solving this,
but was hoping for more input on whether it's appropriate. However
actually implementing collation table support is a separate issue from
fixing the "spurious success" of setlocale, and this breakage would
still happen if you have a "real" en_US locale installed. So figuring
out how to store collation tables in the locale data is also important
here.
