On many unix systems, strcoll(3) is case insensitive for locales

design decision or simply the lack of time and efforts to write the
code for it?

The only thing I can find is ache's commit back in 1996 in /usr/src/share/colldef:

    1996-06-09 12:24  ache
    * la_LN.ISO8859-1.src, la_LN.ISO_8859-1.src, lt_LN.ISO_8859-1.src:

    Make collation table compatible with POSIX WG15 view, i.e.
    capital letters first

I wish I could find the POSIX docs for this, but sadly they don't seem to exists openly on the net?
