Hi, I think we should wait until we decide exactly what we are doing
with collation in C first.  If we are aiming to get exactly the same
collation in C as in Perl, then I don't think we should have a separate
option for this.  If collation with C allows something different, then
we could have an option.  There is the issue of language-specific tailoring
which could be potentially achieved with locale-based sorting in C.
