I found that the Oracle solaris IPS repo contains a localedef src
package that installs in OI w/o any conflicts.
I also discovered that this whole business is in no way a clear and
unmuddled water: e g, what IS the proper sequence of characters to
produce in response to a brace expansion from alphabet(1) to alphabet(last)?
In swedish most would assume it's a-z, minus the w, plus the three chars
å, ä and ö. No more. But some swedish well-appointed dictionaries do
actually list w separately.... And slowly swedes are starting to think
of accented e-s and the german u-diaeresis as "first rank alphabet
members".
And UTF-8 doesn't have the direct notion of a "base alphabet" , only as
a derived subset of base sets.
As far as I can see. Unless I'm mistaken. Apply only as directed. Uzw.
I wonder if this problem is being considered elsewhere??
Is there some "i18n SIG" trying to do these kinds of things properly? I
mean looking at rationalising odd things that came about just because
ascii allowed them to happen?

I realised suddenly that /usr/lib/localedef/src and everything

When things like this happen, are they or the rationale behind the
change documented anywhere?
I'd like to understand.
