Sure. My point is that all that matters for the LC_CTYPE case is the 'encoding' part, where we support whatever directory names are used in /usr/share/locale/ to store the LC_CTYPE files. That's why my diff says "<whatever>.<encoding>" in the context of the LC_CTYPE support code. I don't mean to imply that the <whatever> part couldn't be specified elsewhere. If, say, LC_COLLATE requires information of the form ll_CC then the code configuring collation must enforce that requirement. The LC_CTYPE code doesn't need to enforce it.
