Is it really a programmer mistake, though, to assume that [A-Z] is only

Yes, it is.  You should be using [[:upper:]], or you should be setting
LC_COLLATE=C if you insist on using [A-Z].


Alright -- assuming that for the moment, how does one specify [ABCDEFGHIJKL] using [[:upper:]]? This is something that I haven't seen documented, and I'm genuinely curious.
