  25    set without diacritics (ASCII-US or EBCDIC-US or something like that).
  26    Even if the "C" locale on a particular system is an extension of the ASCII
  27    character set (like on BeOS, where it is UTF-8, or on AmigaOS, where it
  28    is ISO-8859-1), the functions in this file recognize only the ASCII

  30    string; the other one can also contain non-ASCII characters (but then
  31    the comparison result will be nonzero).  */
