I'm skeptical. In my experience, it is universally considered a misfeature that in some implementations and locales, [A-Z] matches some (but not all!) lower case characters. As I understand it, Emacs long ago decided to have [A-Z] match just the ASCII upper case characters, regardless of locale. It'd be nice if gnulib-using programs could do likewise. Preferably on all platforms, not just glibc; but even if we could get it working only on glibc that'd be a win.
