I find this statement surprising and discouraging. I would like to see
a test case to prove/disprove it one way or the other, particularly
for multibyte locales.  As the original RRI code came from gawk, I
am pretty sure that the ! _LIBC part of the code does get it right.
Or at least did in my version.
