LC_ALL=C would disable UTF-8, and I am told that this would cause
problems for e.g. Python 3. What we would really want is C.UTF-8 [1]
but that's neither a standard nor is it ready.

In the meantime, we could go with the minimum changes necessary to
unbreak the bash 4.2 case conversion operators. Setting LC_COLLATE
to C and LC_CTYPE to some sane locale should be sufficient for that.
